Merry
Christmas To all our Friends and Family!
We
pray this finds you happy, healthy and blessed as we are. This year has been a year of learning
for our family. We’ve learned how
very important our Jesus is when you are going through the valleys. It took us this whole year to grieve
our sweet boy Elliott Aamodt. To
say this year was happy would not be true. It was sad, it was hard, it was nothing like any of us have
ever been through. But, the best
news is we made it through. We
persevered…we learned, we worshipped our Jesus through the good and the
bad. And, He, as always came
through. We are looking forward to
2013 with GREAT anticipation of what our Jesus has in store for our
family. We will begin the process
to adopt another sweet little baby into our family in January. We ask that you pray for us as we
navigate this journey yet again.
We can’t wait to fill our little home with more love and laughter. Halle is more than giddy to have a
little brother or sister to care for and, most importantly, we know Jesus has
called us to do this.
Right
now, this world and its troubles seem like such a sad and disappointing place
to be. I’m trying really hard to
focus on our Jesus, the REAL reason for this season. To remember the blessings
He has given us. The roof I have over my head, the computer I’m using right
now…my sweet husband and little brown girl. My family. They
may be crazy, well sometimes, but….they are all mine. Life is precious, and this year has really shown us
this. Would you do the same? Be blessed. Be thankful.
For those things you have, not what you are missing. Take some time and sit at HIS feet, in
HIS presence, worshipping the Gift He has given to US.
Blessings
to you and yours,
April
for all three of us
