God is so good!










One month ago today we arrived home with our new daughter and sister Anjali. The past month has brought many changes for our family but we have learned through this journey that God is good and that he doesn't make mistakes. This sweet girl just fits so well into our family and we think that our family is just right for her. She is really adjusting so well and has amazed us all with the new things that she learns each day and the love she shares with all of us. She is beginning to talk pretty well and understands much of what we say to her. We give God all the thanks and praise for his plan to have her a part of our family. We are so privileged to be her parents and brothers and sister and we know that we truly followed God's call.
We are so excited to share this Christmas with her. The other day she was helping mom wrap presents by getting tape ready and putting the wrapped gifts under the tree. She thinks most of the gifts are for her as she points to them and then to herself and says "for me." She seems excited to open the gifts!
We have been teaching her (along with Grandma Judy) who loves her more than anybody and she replies "baby Jesus." It is so precious and we are so excited to be telling her about the One who was born in a stable many years ago for her and all of us. We wish you all a blessed Christmas and may you celebrate too the birth of our Savior, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. May you be blessed by God's goodness this Christmas and in the year to come.

Enjoying the blizzard...It is obvious, God had your family picked out long ago. Blessings to all of you and hopefully we can get to see your family soon. Maybe we will have to snowmobile over, if only we had a snowmobile.

Carmen and Kevin:
As I sit here and look at your blog, Iam overwhelmed by how big our God is. God's perfect plan is so evident when we look back at how everything works together for our good.
Anjali is such a wonderful addition to our family, what a special gift she is along with all the rest of our grandchildren. The most important thing I want all of our grandchildren to know is that Jesus loves them more than anybody, and that they will want to live their life for HIM!!
Looking forward to celebrating on Christ-mas..
Love Mom Mich
