Bright Orange Package

I pulled in the driveway and saw the small, bright orange package sitting on my steps and my heart filled with excitement. If you've ever received one of these bright orange packages, you know the feeling inside that I'm talking about. Shutterfly! I LOVE Shutterfly and I love getting packages. But more so than getting a package from Shutterfly, I was excited because I knew what it was. 

Over the last couple of years, I have found that a fun way to capture special times in our lives is to create a photobook. It's easy to do, lets me chime into my creative side a bit, easier to keep up with than a million 4x6 photos, and a neat way to share with family what we've been doing over the last year or so when we get together over the holidays. I have photobooks of our wedding day, the day the boys were born, events throughout the year, holidays, preschool artwork, etc. And I wanted our sweet Harrison to have a book too. I think I've mentioned earlier that our nurse took some pictures for us so I uploaded the pictures and created Harrison's photobook. It may be his one and only photobook, but it sure is a special one!

I was so excited to open the bright orange package, sit down, and see our sweet Harrison again. It was almost like I got to hold sweet boy, even though I didnt really get to physically hold him. God's creation is beautiful and amazing. I sat here, full of excitement knowing I get to hold him again one day and how I long for that day and look forward to it. As I sat here thinking of that day, very clearly God said "And I look forward, Kelly, to the day you are physically with me in Heaven and I get to hold you." Wow! I cannot imagine the excitement God must have to one day hold all his children. Meanwhile, while on Earth, I can feel his sweet embrace. If I had one request, I would ask the Lord to hold Harrison, love on Harrison, and tell him all the stories that we would have told him about our God. But the sweet thing is...I dont have to ask...Harrison went peacefully from my womb straight into God's loving arms. All he has ever known is love, what a blessing!
