The atmosphere was perfect for a nice dinner. We were seated in a semi private room where the only room decor was a Happy Birthday banner! How neat is that? Our dinner was excellent and we had the famous ice cream for dessert and of course, a fortune cookie! :)
As we were preparing to leave, a special song played over the restaurant. I didn't notice at first as I was gathering up everyone's belongings. Chase came over to me with such excitement in his voice and said "Mom! Listen to the music! They are playing Maeli's favorite song!" I listened to the words and there it was: The Carpenters song Yesterday Once More! I just had to smile. Yes, another God blessing. Like He was celebrating our sweet girl's birthday too. Because He is. He made her and loves her and rejoices on her birthday. And for those who don't know who The Carpenters are, well they aren't exactly top ten on the charts these days, lol!
And God blessed us with gifts today. Gifts from China... The documents we have been praying and waiting for! We received them today!!! Praise.The.Lord! This is such a wonderful gift knowing that with these documents and the help of our attorney, this is will Maeli's last birthday without her forever family. We are blessed!
