We were putting up the decorations on the tree and I looked over and saw Teva had put on a Santa hat and was playing with my special nativity. This was such a sweet moment. Teva in time will know the depth of it.
We lost a baby boy to miscarriage on December 7th 2005. We were obviously heart broken and the time of year didn't help. It was also my 4th miscarriage. Then one night in December the door bell rang. That was the start of leaving a nativity piece with a scripture on our door step every night. I still to this day have no idea who it was. This small act of service was full of healing power for Nathan and I. Our sweet Teva was born a year later on December 7th.
Oh how such moments in our lives strengthen our testimonies. I have so many moments like these. I'm thankful for the birth of our beloved Savior. I'm thankful for this time of year. I'm thankful for all the wonderful people in my life that have helped sculpt me. The list could go on......
