I just realized that with the hub-bub of our activities lately I did not post about Emme's Christmas concert with her new school... One word describes the little girl in the front row..  JOYFUL!

She might not have known every word, but she knew every action and she sang her heart out!  You couldn't help but notice the little girl in the Santa smock dress!

It is times like this where you watch and realize just how much God loves us..  He protected this child's spirit while she grew up in an orphanage for three years..  He put the joy in Emme's heart that she so easily shares with everyone she meets..  It is nothing that we have done.  It is a God given gift that allows Emme to let her light shine.  "Joyful Joyful we adore thee..."

My prayer is that Emme will always share the light she has been given....  wherever she goes!
