December Daily {23}

Hi Friends

I mentioned earlier in the month that December

Holds many special days

Today is another one

I woke my youngest boy up early

To give him a gift before I left for work

27 years ago today

Our little family walked up the stairs of the 

Mono Country Court House

Into the chambers of Judge Roberts 

And finalized the adoption of 

Jeremy Mellor

Who became

Matthew James Cain forevermore

 

From a 4 month old little peanut

To our now precious 29 year olde adult

He has blessed our lives with JOY

We are so thankful that God allowed this guy

To become a member of our family

 

I wore this fun little Christmas penguin today

He makes me smile

 

In recent years it has become a challenge to me

To seek JOY in every single day

I was so happy to find this sweet

Goblet with bottle brush trees on Etsy

That I purchased for the Christmas season

This piece is on my bedside table

A reminder to seek JOY every morning

 

When I purchased it

The owner of the shop also sent me

A fun ornament to match with the word JOY on it as well

Thank you Becky from Timewashed on Etsy

For your beautiful work

 

I love the blingy toppers

 

And, of course, the reminder of JOY

This is my final December Daily post

I will be back tomorrow

With a different type of post

You have been a blessing to my heart

As you have left your kind comments

And words of encouragement 

During a month that sends my emotions

On a roller-coaster ride

I wish you could hear my hearts JOY

As I read each word

Blessings to All 

On this December 23rd
