Strand of Three

We haven’t had a baby in our house in 6 years. That’s a pretty big gap, and for the longest time Karsten has been our baby. We really had no idea how both girls would really react to a baby brother, even though they had prayed and prayed for him for nearly a year.

Any worrying we had done was a complete waste because these girls are both smitten with their baby brother. And the feeling is mutual.

A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.

– Ecclesiastes 4:12

I am so thankful these three kids get to grow up together. Not a single person in our family is biologically related, but there is zero doubt in our minds that this was God’s plan for our family all along. He knew best that we all needed each other, and we are so thankful for His plan and provision in our lives.
