My sweet little Amberlee girl gave me a letter a little while back while Doug and Lydia were here for Christmas. The note was mostly just a jumble of letters that she had typed in, but then there was also a little part that she had Amy Jo write for her what she wanted in the letter. It was just a little statement, but it was a little statement that was packed with meaning and sweetness. It said:
Dear Goo (my nickname),
I know you, and hope for you.
Love, Amberlee
It's amazing how children can touch our hearts in ways that no one else can, and how thy can teach us like no one else can. I needed to read those words that day... They reminded me that the Lord knows me, He is aware of what is going on in my life, and He cares about me. He wants whats best for me, He wants me to be happy and to succeed. These words also taught me about how I need to love others. I should have a sincere hope and desire for good things in the lives of all those that I claim to know and love. So... I would just like to pass this message on to Doug and Lydia and their sweet family, with that sweet new baby...
"I know you and I hope for you."

What a sweet post, Goo. I remember that day. Amberlee asked me how to spell the words she wanted to use and then she found the letters on the key board. I thought the same thing. It really is so sweet.
Oh- sweet Catherine- what a lot we're all going through! Thanks for the sweet post- couldn't ask for a sweeter sis-in-law! I LOVE YOU, know you, and hope for you as well!
Oh my gosh. That baby. :]
