What a wonderful, joyous occasion! We were so blessed to have brought Ariana back to Atlanta Saturday for the annual Easter Egg Hunt. She obviously was happy, relaxed, and comfortable in the midst of her loved ones. Family and friends enjoyed each other, great food, and a beautiful, warm, sunny day. The love and support of this village is so readily apparent. Jim and I could not only feel all of the love for Ariana, but felt it for ourselves as well. We are so thankful to all!
God has blessed us beyond all of our dreams and we could not be happier. During Easter Mass on Sunday morning, I sat listening to the sermon and realized my own recent resurrection. It started the day we decided to open our hearts to new possibilities in starting our famiy. It has been a slow progression, but over these past few months, and culminating this weekend, it is now apparent to me. God's love and strength is available for all, the weak, the diseased, the downtrodden. All we need do is look up and open ourselves to His grace. He has taken me from near hopeless and closed off to a new life. One full of hope, love, and gratitude for the precious life He has given us. Praise be to God!
