Brrrrrrrr........

Anyone else in Washington cold today? It is beautiful but so cold. My honey is out working in this today and i hope he is not freezing. That's kind of a silly thing to say, because i am sure he is.....

I am thankful for another day. I wanted to share a poem my Aunt MaryAnn wrote the day after we found out about our little Esther. She is a gifted writer. It is so beautiful and expresses perfectly where my heart is at. When i read it the day after we found out the news, i bawled, i couldn't even read it through my tears. Yesterday i read it for the first time with dry eyes, so there ya go:) I am so thankful.

LORD, WE NEED A MIRACLE

Lord, we need a miracle in this place.

Not for our own want or private gain.

But that all around us, man will see your face.

And know that it was You who moved your hand.

Lord, frail we stand before You, knowing not

The mystery and outcome this trial holds.

We grasp secure the promises You've taught

Applying them as days ahead unfold.

You are the mighty Lord of all there is.

Of vastless sky the universe beyond.

Each tiny cell you've given life within,

And somehow hold it all in Your great hand.

We recognize it's You and You alone

Who grants us life and takes it as You will.

You do not err, Your righteousness is shone

In all You do and are, we see You still.

Lord, there are throngs of those who need to see

Who live in pain brought on by sin's desire.

Who've lost all hope that ever there could be

A rescuer to lift them from this mire.

Lord, now I ask that through this You would prove

It is your hand that moves in strength and grace,

Leading, gently to your arms of love.

Lord, we need a miracle in this place.
