Children *are* a Blessing…

Why? Because she gets it. She understands the situation, she understands the possible outcomes, and she understands that we believe that this baby is for us, and we are for this baby, regardless of the outcome. And her words are beautiful to me.

But even more than that, that she empathizes….that she sees that this is a stress on us, and that she cares enough to ask other people to pray for us and the baby. And that is a huge blessing.

{and because we’ve been jokingly throwing around some German lately: sie ist gut.}
