to Sarah and Scott -
Just ...Happy Birthday Emma!! <br />to Sarah and Scott -<br />Just want you to know that God does not give His "special gifts" to just anyone. Just as you love and crave your time with Emma, God LOVES and craves His time with you. He sees you grow in all your weaknesses and infirmaties, when you lean on Him. As you see the incredible strength in Emma, God sees the incredible strength, endurance, patience, and ever abundant love you have. I must confess that you two are the most amazing couple I have ever known. I want to thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. You are such an inspiration to me as a couple, parents, and above all, your devotion to God - even when life is hard. THANK YOU.
