I just want to say I have the best blog friends in the world. You all are so sweet to read the blog and leave such precious comments. Thank you! You are such an encouragement.
Last night Cora climbed her first stair! She is not even 9 months yet! She doesn't have a true blue crawl down yet, but she can get around the house super quick. The other day she scooted all the way across the den and was at the stairs before I realized where she was! It's baby gate time again. Maybe they have one now that fits my staircase. It's extra wide, so we had to rig a gate when Emma was climbing stairs to keep her from going up and tumbling down.
(I didn't realize I had the wrong date on our camera!)
I can. not. be. lieve we only have 5 days until Christmas! I always seem to rush around the last few days before the big day getting gifts. UHG! One year maybe I'll get it together and be finished before the last few days are upon us. Oh well.
I hope this week finds you well and able to enjoy the reason we celebrate. "But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.' And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.'" Luke 2. He is Messiah, God with us. Even though my faith has been shaken, I believe. I know the Lord Jesus is carrying me (us) through this valley. I know he understands our pain and cares about the things that are hurting us. I am so very greatful He came to earth as a baby, so common and touchable. He is our King. The one who saves. Glory to God in Highest!
