On Lila Rae’s birthday we did ALL the things we do for our precious angel’s big day! At church, the flowers at the Altar and the wreaths on the front door were dedicated in her honor. We had her special birthday dinner and dessert. We took her flowers and sent her and Jesus some balloons (pink of course).
Her day was VERY special. It always is. BUT. This year was different. She was giving us a gift!
On this day, out of God’s hands, we were given a home!!! Now for months we have been working on this project……waiting for the day to close on our new home. And of course the FIRST day that was available for ALL involved was September 13th, my baby girl’s birthday. You cannot tell me that that isn’t the work of our Lord and Savior! So we like to think of our new home (a much needed home) as a gift from our Lord with a little help from his angel Lila Rae (smiling!) I AM ONE PROUD MOMMA!!!! To know that my baby girl is not only sitting in the right hand of our God but is actually working with Him to show her love for us. (yes I am crying….but what Momma wouldn’t be?!)
What a beautiful thing it is to see God’s involvement in our lives. How He continues to show His love and grace is amazing to me. I am so thankful He interwove(?) my Lila Rae and our home. You know I couldn’t figure out why God had been prolonging the closing on our home. I would get upset and wonder if we were even doing the right thing. But Cory and I knew God’s hand was in it and we just had to wait on His time. NOW I know why and I am so thankful He waited….waited for Lila Rae.
What a special day my Lord made………
Our new home!
Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.
