I have about 5 minutes before I must leave for work, so I wanted to share.
Gracie spent the night with Cambry Monday night, and when she came home she was a basket of emotions. She is just the sweetest little girl though. So she did whatever I asked while trying her best not to cry. After her bath (and after she let Cambry wear her brand new pajamas that she really wanted to wear herself), I grabbed her and held on tight and whispered to her how proud I was of her, and how she was behaving exactly the Jesus would want her to. And how I was so lucky to have her for a daughter. And you know what she did? She tucked her face into my neck and cried. She smiled and told me she loved me. I, of course, started to cry. Is this what Jesus does when we thank Him. Does he become overrun with emotion? I tell Gracie all the time that I love her and I thank her and praise her. But this was different. I shut the door on the other kids and had just her in the quiet of the bathroom. Maybe we should try that with our Jesus. Shut the door and whisper praise to Him. Let Him see our hearts while we are quiet...

How precious! You and Cam are such great parents to have raised such a daughter..
You're so right, Steph! Gracie is such a sweetie!
That Gracie amazes me with what she has to say. You guys have to be THE best parents in order to have such a sweetie!! If and when Jeff and I have kids, I hope we can be half the parents y'all are!! Great job, Steph & Cam!!!!!!
