Despite not buying our real tree, or going all out on our Christmas décor, or baking cookies for all our colleagues and family, traditions we do every year, we still have the gift of our Savior. No matter what happens to Parker, we have our salvation because God sent his Son over 2,000 years ago and we can celebrate today and every day!
Parker gave us her own little gift this Christmas. After a rocky Christmas Eve and having her have to be back on cpap, she breathed on her own all Christmas Day. We also got to “nuzzle” her first attempt at breastfeeding. It was like Jesus knew what we wanted more than anything, to have her own with us and feel like a “normal” family, but He was saying, keep having faith. And until she is home with you where she is supposed to be, I will give you the gift of a “normal” cordless baby. No cannula, no ng tube (they were doing a switch), just a sweet, tiny baby. Skin on skin. Just like my Son I sent away from His “normal” into this cold, dark world. But this is was Jesus’ normal, to be a light, to save. And cords, desats, pic lines, this is our normal… for now. But to have a taste of what life will be like when it’s just us, baby and mommy and daddy, Hark! What a Joy!
