Maddie, our miracle, at 9 months
Twas the night that you joined us...all eyes were on earth.
Awaiting with joy for a most special birth.The angel's stood ready...for each need and care,
But all of them knew... that the Lord would be there,
And I labored on... and daddy was scared,
We waited...and wondered... and hoped we'd prepared.
We knew you were special...but so very sick,
Yet hope had grown in me... with every kick.
And soon it was time...into this world you came,
I heard a soft cry... then I called out your name....
And God held your hands...while the angels stood by,
Since I could not hold you...they hushed your soft cries.
One small angel looked to the father and smiled,
"Can you truly teach hope... through such a small child?
An infant so helpless...a baby so new...
Oh please tell me Lord...is this what you will do?"
God looked from the angel...to the baby's sweet face,
"Through her my young charge... they will learn about grace.
I penned this child's journey...quite a long time ago,
And through her great courage...such true love will grow.
Every hair on her head has been numbered you see...
It's my hope that through her... they will learn to see me.
Oh my little one with a special heart...
Great love will see you through...
See look that is your family...They've been waiting for you...
I send you to their waiting arms...for a time we'll be apart...
But I'll always be with you...for I live within your heart."
And so we held you in our arms...And thanked our Lord above...
In you...we see the miracle, of His undying love.
So when it's Christmas morning, And I watch my children play,
I'll need no great reminders, For I see my gifts each day.

Beautiful...and a tear jerker. What a gift she is to all!
Katie, your blog has made me cry more than any other... I love your attitude, your grateful spirit and your FAITH!
You have two handsome boys and that little girl of yours is a beautiful, precious gift!
Katie,
Maddie's Christmas picture is absolutely adorable. She is quite the little picture taker. You know you should do one of her pictures on a canvas with Heritage Makers. It would be very neat. I hope you had a great Christmas. Garrett was all about his presents and loved opening them. Santa brought him a battery powered gator this year and I thought he was going to knock my walls down in my house. I finally had to take it to the barn for him. Have a great new year and hopefully come spring when all the germs are done I can catch up to you and meet precious Maddie...
Love Ya,
Randee
