Heavenly Birthday

I am a firm believer that Earth was created to be a tiny inkling of the majesty and splendor of Heaven.  I believe this is true of many of our Earthly customs, too.  Therefore, I am sure that the angels threw a great celebration today - the day our daughter, Madeline Kate, entered her eternal home 11 years ago.  And I have no doubt that any earthly birthday party would pale in comparison.

We celebrate with the hosts of Heaven today the life of Madeline Kate...and long for the day we are all together again.  Happy birthday, Baby Girl!

Although we miss our daughter, we are thankful for a God who truly brings beauty from ashes, and who works everything for good.
