I want to begin this blog by giving glory to our Creator...His design is perfect. This is a fiddle head fern bud ready to unfold...they were all over on both sides of a trail we hiked during one of our weekly nature walks."All of the parts of the frond of a fern bud are tightly folded spirally within the bud and every fold of every leaflet is also folded in a spiral. But the first glance at one of these little wooly spirals gives us but small conception of its marvelous enfolding," (Handbook of Nature Study, p. 698)."...so intricate is the action of their multitudinous spirals, that to watch them unfolding impresses one as would a miracle," (HNS, p. 699).
Can't you just read this and feel that it describes all life?! It is a privilege for me to know Reece's Rainbow ministry, the precious "miracles" that give this ministry purpose, and to share with you my family's "unfolding" as we walk by faith. Thank you for sharing our walk...may you be richly blessed.

Happy Birthday Maria!





Today we celebrated Maria's third birthday, but most likely the first one for her! We had a special day of lunching with daddy, dinner with grandma and grandpa, and opening presents. We have come a long way since arriving home in late November. She has a beautiful smile, an honest heart, a willingness to help at all times without being asked, and a sense of wanting to please. The communication can be challening at times, but we are all working together. The kids truly love her and take extra care of her.

This past Sunday Maria had her third week in the special STAR class at church - another confirmation as to just why God led us to Crossroads. She is doing great. There are I believe 2 other children with hearing loss. It is a small class and she is getting lots of attention.
