Mariah has added so much fun and laughter to our family. She was a high strung and very emotional baby/toddler, but is probably one of our easiest going children now! Funny how that works....
Another good quality that Mariah has is contentment. She never asks for anything and is always wanting to give gifts to people. We had the hardest time coming up with things to get her for Christmas and her birthday. Each of our children get a leather Bible with their name engraved on it when they learn how to read well and show responsibility to take care of it. This Christmas Mariah received her Bible. She is so proud of it that she has even carried it with her into the grocery store!
When we asked her what she would like for her birthday she said, "If you gave me a pack of gum I would be thrilled!" :o)
When she was born a friend brought her this New Year's crown. Every year we take her picture with it on.
I am very grateful that the Lord saw fit to put Mariah in our family. She has been a blessing and a joy! This past year has been a big year for Mariah spiritually. She has asked lots of questions and is really trying to seek the Lord. I pray that she will always have a hunger for God's word and love Him with all of her heart.
We love you Mariah!
