Our Christmas Miracle

On this day in history, our family celebrated a Christmas miracle!

December 22, 2017 was the last day of Ryker's intensive physical therapy program at Tender Ones Therapy in Dacula, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta.  It was Ryker's "walking school," and for two weeks he worked for nearly four hours a day -- one foot in front of the other -- as we prayed for his first steps to come.

Adam captured our family's feelings well: "A few small steps for a little boy, a giant leap for our family." 

I'll never forget driving away from Tender Ones that day, as we headed back to pack up our condo and begin our long drive from Georgia to Iowa so we could make it home for Christmas.  Adam and I looked at each other in the car, and we both started to cry.  The tears were tears of joy and tears of gratitude to our Lord -- we had witnessed a miracle!

As we enter into this Christmas season, we are blessed to celebrate the greatest miracle of all.  May we all remember the miraculous coming of our Lord, and may we all praise Him for the miracles He continues to share every single day.

Merry Christmas! ​
