Our Gift from God: This week....

This week....

Today marks the beginning of Congenital Heart Defect Awareness week and we are celebrating by taking some incredible heart themed baskets to Mott tomorrow! It warms my heart so to be able to give this small gift to the parents of these special babies. I can't even begin to express what it means to me as we pass these out tomorrow. I don't know if it's just because of what week it is.......nope, it's because these kiddos are my heroes and I can only wish that I could be as strong as them. So, this post is short because I have allot of organizing and packing to do for tomorrow! Heart Hugs to all of you!

And of course, one more of the princess to tide you over ;-) She was trying to make a heart with her hands. Pretty good attempt, I think!

Heart Poem

It's a beautiful day up in heaven. Jesus is rounding up his tiniest angels, to go live on earth, and be born. One of the sweetest angels says to Jesus "I don't want to leave, I like it here, and I will miss you". He reassures the scared little angel that everything will be okay, and that he is just going for a visit. He is still not swayed on this idea. So Jesus kneels down, and says, "How about if you leave half of your heart here with me and take the other half with you, will that be okay?" The angel smiles and says, "I guess that will work". But the little angel is still a little scared. He asks,"Will I be okay with only half of my heart?" Jesus replies,"Of course you will, I have other angels there that will help out, and you will be fine." Then Jesus gives the angel more details about his plan. He says "When you are born, your mommy will be scared, so you have to be strong, and when you feel weak just remember that I have the other half of your heart". "Enjoy your time with your family, play and laugh everyday." "And when its time to come back to heaven, I will make your heart whole again. Always remember that you are not broken, just torn between two loves."
