Dear Jesus.....

It has been a while since I have posted because I am busy every day with 5 monkeys that run my world.  But I could not pass up the opportunity to share the amazing thing that sweet Jessa wowed us with yesterday.  Jason and I celebrated our 14 year wedding anniversary *7-10-99* and spent the day out shopping, just the two of us, for the entire day!!! It was fabulous, but we spent most of our 9 hours away talking about kids or telling others about our kids! And of course, we shopped a tad for them too :) When we got home we were greeted with squeals and hugs from our sweet children.  We heard all of their fun stories from the evening and thanked my parents for keeping the kiddos safe, and after they left, we sat the kids on the couch for a few gifts! They were small tokens of, "we missed you so much!", but Christmas in July for them none the less :) Jessa was the first one up to bat.  I pulled a shirt, skirt, dress, and headband out of the bag, and she hopped off the couch, faster than lightning, and hugged our necks as if we just gave her gold! She was so so happy with her gifts! This same theme continued with each of our children, until we were done! They are all so very appreciative of things given to them.  We were sitting on the family room floor talking, when Jessa raised her hand and said, "Wu Wu" (me me) and folded her hands to pray! We told her that we could pray and we all bowed our heads.  What came out of her mouth next, brought tears to the eyes of her mama and baba! She said, "Dear Jesus thank you for mama, baba, and E, R, Sun, Su for Zhao Zhao, Jesus Name Amen~" WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! We were blown away.  She just thanked her heavenly daddy for her mommy, daddy, and the 4 simple gifts we gave to her! No one asked her to pray, encouraged her to pray, anything!!! We are amazed every day by this sweet little wonder, but this was just so totally breathtaking! She is a blessing that words can't even express, we are the ones that are overjoyed by her - We are so very humbled that He gave us Jessa ♥ Thank you Dear Jesus!
