Dad to Sarah and Micah

A little girl is born in China. She's too precious to discard, too expensive to keep. So, she's placed in a basket and dropped off near the police station where she'll be found. She spends her first months in an orphanage, not knowing what a mommy or daddy is. Across the world, a mommy and a daddy get a picture of the girl--an answer to their prayers. Though the journey that has brought them to this picture has been long, it is but the first step in an even longer journey…parenthood.

The Christmas Story

Sarah was explaining the Christmas story to me yesterday while we were driving around:

Sarah: "Mary & Joseph couldn't find a hotel, so they went to a barn. And, when Jesus was born, they put him in a manger."

Me: "What's a manger?"

Sarah: "It's where they feed the animals."

Me: "What do you think the animals thought when they saw the baby Jesus lying in a manger?"

Sarah: "I think they said, 'I'm not going to eat THAT!'"

I nearly had a wreck I laughed so hard. (And, she was probably right!)
