Auntie Larissa

selfishly i have always wanted to be an auntie...maybe even more than being a mother...when landen died part of that dream left as well...i thought i may never have the opportunity...then my best friend became relation and her boys my nephews and i married into a family with many nieces and nephews and others by affection...God has filled my life with so many blessings and tonight i was able to spend the evening with my two little nephews full of life and destiny!  i got jonas ready for bed and placed him in his bed...before leaving him , i held him and prayed over him... he had been squirmy all evening but as i prayed he fell quiet and still, when i said "amen" he looked at me and smiled...i gave him a tight hug and said, "i love you, jonas" and voluntarily he answered back, " i love you too!"...God is so good to restore beyond what we ask for as we press into him!  Ephesians 3:20 says something on that order...

^{Ephesians 3:20} Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
