Here's an email I JUST sent out...
Dear Friends and Family,
Have you ever cleaned out your pocket
And discovered a ten dollar bill?
You weren't really expecting it,
But it gave your heart a thrill!
Have you ever opened the door
And there before you eyes
You saw the flower man standing
With an armful of surprise?
Well, a surprise is exactly what's happened
To us as a man and a wife
The Lord has been gracious and perfectly good
By adding to us a TENTH life!
We could have told you in person
But it's very important you see
That we only see thoughts and reactions
Of happiness, smiles, and glee!
So once you've had time to digest it
And been able to ponder it all
When you have a nice word about all that you've heard,
Feel free to give us a call! (or email)

LOVE it!
Thanks to Bridget for letting me adapt it....who adapted it from somewhere else. ::snort::
Love the poem.
Wonderful! I recall when I looked at your family photo from Dec. that it looked like a child was missing. Happy God saw it the same way and is giving another!
This may post twice...As always, De'Etta, thrilled for you and your growing family. May God bless you with a peaceful pregnancy and a delightful delivery.
He he! If you just read the poem, you might not be keen to the word TENTH in the poem. Looks like only the last person got it.
Very cool
Beth
How exciting! Now, I can watch your countdown!!
Kathy,
Remember those frustratingly joyful little encouragements I'd try to send you? You can send them back to me in about 7 months - ok? LOL
A day late and a dollar short, but I am so excited for you! Dh wanted to know if I wanted to try for half of that.... uh, NO. But I am thrilled for you! Congrats!
