Wow, Alice. That was beautiful! I never know what to do with all those pictures, but after reading your article, I will be displaying them all year long and offering extra prayers for them. God bless you.

Great story, Alice. I always scrapbook those Christmas pictures. Those pages are the most favorite stops when the children go through the scrapbooks.

Your beautiful writing never fails to bring a sweet tear. What a gift you have! And your reflections on this topic are as lovely as ever.
As a cross-racial adoptive mom, reading about family resemblances has a certain poignancy for me. I loved your conclusion, and know in my own heart and experience just how true it is!
Warmly,
Eileen

This is the first year I've ever sent out a Christmas picture. You've made me glad I did. :-) Happy Christmas, Alice.

Love your article! so glad the original version is what allowed me the privelage of being added to your Christmas card list! I just love my daily trips to the mailbox during the Christmas Season, always looking out for the picture cards!

What a sweet story. As I begin to un-deck our halls this week, I will make sure to take some extra time to look at those photo cards and thank God for the people in them. Thanks for the reminder.
God Bless,
Jane
