Holding on to a moment...

Our Christmas tree is filled with ornaments which mean something to us -- ornaments Chad or I made while we were growing up or since we have been married, ornaments people have given us over the years, ornaments we have purchased on vacation and which tell the story of our life together. This year we get to add some more special ornaments... and I found one this past week at a conference my work hosted. I was captivated not so much by the artwork as by the poem, which you can read in part on the card above. (Not that the artwork isn't wonderful, I am just more of an artist of words than a visual artist!). It captured beautifully the miracle of the baby we are blessed to spend Christmas with this year. The artist's work is beautiful... it isn't all on her website (and unfortunately you can't read her poetry on the website), but at least you can get a taste.
