Blessings.

There is really no other way to describe it other than God has totally blessed us. T was able to preach the other day, and he described blessing as something God uses to bring you closer to him. So that could mean something that makes you as happy as can be, but it also could mean that the blessings in your life are things or circumstances you don't enjoy. :) It's just something that brings you closer to him. I can say this adoption journey has been a blessing both good and hard. There have been times that we have been elated, times we have wanted to cry, times we have wanted to pull our hair out, and times that we are so overcome with joy that we just don't understand why God would choose us to parent this precious child. Yes Deacon will be blessed, but OH the joy and blessing he will bring to our family and friends.

Our church family showered us with BLESSING this past weekend. They held a shower in Deacon's honor, and did they ever go above and beyond. We are truly blessed to be apart of this church family. The people were SO gracious and giving! Deacon will be WELL taken care of for a loooong time. We are so thankful to be able to serve and walk along side these people.

Look what word was on the table. :) Not to mention the fabulous treats.
KG and EG getting their share. KG was all about the dessert table.
Friends and family hanging out.
Nana, Sweet SIL Mandy, and Mimi. I was so glad they could all come.
Some of the crowd watching the opening of the gifts.
Jessica and Katie. Jessica was in charge of taking pictures, so glad these two didn't get left out. :)

Enjoying the treats.
