Deborah posted the lyrics to this familiar song on her Facebook today, and it reminded me of mom's memorial service.
May you be blessed this Easter weekend as you reflect on the true meaning of hope. How beautiful that Mom is already living in the reality of this hope beside her Risen King.
"In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless Babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live"

Baby News!
Technically, it is now spring, although I find this hard to believe since there are intermittent bursts of light snow falling outside. Despite this fact, the dawn of spring seems a good time to announce some of the signs of new life in our family.
As you all know, Mom took her role as "Mica" very seriously and loved Miles and Claire more than anything. I wish that I could have told her in person that I am expecting my first baby this coming September. Deborah and Grant will introduce a cousin to the mix this fall as well--Deborah is pregnant with their 3rd child and due a few days before I am! We are both doing well and my dad is excited to continue his role as "Pop Pop."
I hope my mom knows that these little miracles are on their way.
Sometimes in the last couple of months I have been completely overwhelmed as I think about the gift I have been given in this new life. My mom's wisdom would really come in handy right now. I have to believe, though, that the foundation she laid for me--and for my brother and his family--is enough to help me through this process.
I will try to post some recent pictures of everyone soon with the goal of inviting Mom to live on in all of us.
