A Sweet Homecoming

...look after the widows and orphans in their distress...James 1:27

Tuesday night I had the wonderful experience of witnessing a very sweet homecoming. Our cousins Mark and Jenn returned from a month in Russia with their sweet new little girl, Selah. She had been wanted for so long and it was so incredible to see her with the family that loves her so much. I contemplated not going because it was late and Quinn needed to go to bed, blah blah blah, but as someone pointed out, how often do you get to witness something like this? It was especially great to see her meet her new big brothers. They were so happy to see her too. Here is the whole family at the airport.

I wanted to get pictures as they arrived, but maybe we happened to get there just as they were getting off the tram on the landside terminal. Somebody's always got to be late, right? As you can see in the above picture, Selah was snoozing a bit when they arrived. I just love the picture below when she woke up and was meeting her big brother Jack. Oh, and grandma peeking over at her too!

It is so wonderful to see people really take God's words serious...and we get to benefit by having Selah in our lives!
