A Thought

In this life we can not always do great things. But we can do small things with great love.." :) Mother Teresa

Prayer Quote

“I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time- waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God- it changes me.”
― C. S. Lewis

Faith

I believe in the sun even when it's not shining. I believe in love even when I don't feel it. And I believe in God even when He is silent. (quote found on the wall of a concentration camp)

A Christmas Concert

Tonight, we headed to Highland Park Presbyterian Church to see the Getty's Christmas Concert.  To say we had a good time is an UNDERSTATEMENT! We had a GREAT time!

The music was just fantastic. I LOVE Irish Music.  The instruments are so interesting and the Irish Pipes are beautiful. 
I have to say, They really ROCKED!  We had so much fun. The girlies broke into dance and the audience participated in many of the songs. 

Everybody got dressed up for the occasion. We also looked at all the fabulous Christmas lights on the way home.
We took our car, so there were 3 in the back and 3 in the front. Alli sat in the front between mom and dad.  She snuggled in and all the way there and all the way home, she was just glowing with joy. :)
It was precious to see.

She is really enjoying all the events of her first Christmas home!

One really COOL thing that happened was that we were able to talk to  the American Guitar Player.... and He and his wife are hosting a child from Ukraine for Christmas! :)  It was fun to talk with him about adoption.
After the concert, the Irish players had a jam session for about 30 minutes for anybody who wanted to stay. It was such a great atmosphere of joyful expression. :)

On the way home, the girls were all saying what a wonderful time they had.  I am REALLY glad we went. :)
