Merry Christmas Audra Qi Jia

Waiting...wondering...hoping...praying...loving...

We celebrate with joy and thankfulness this Christmas with our family here at home.

But a piece of our heart is half a world away...with a sweet little girl who means to world to us!

We pray that she is happy, healthy, and loved upon by those around her until we have her in our very own arms. 

Merry Christmas Audra!  This year we celebrate knowing and loving you.  Next year we will celebrate while having and holding you.

The video link below perfectly describes the feelings we have of waiting for our little girl during the holidays.

Third Day - Merry Christmas

 

There's a little girl trembling on a cold December morn

Crying for momma's arms

At an orphanage just outside a little China town

There the forgotten are

But half a world away I hang the stockings by the fire

And dream about the day when I can finally call you mine

It's Christmas time again but you're not home

Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone

And so tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms

And tell you from my heart I wish you Merry Christmas

As I hang the tinsel on the tree and watch the twinkling lights

I'm warmed by the fire's glow

Outside the children tumble in a wonderland of white,

Make angels in the snow

But half a world away you try your best to fight the tears

And hope that heaven's angels come to carry you here

It's Christmas time again but you're not home

Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone

And so tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms

And tell you from my heart I wish you Merry Christmas

Christmas is a time to celebrate the holy child

And we celebrate his perfect gift of love

He came to earth to give his life

And prepare a place for us

So we could have a home with him above

It's Christmas time again and now you're home

Your family is here so you will never be alone

So tonight before you go to sleep, I'll hold you in my arms

And I'll tell you from my heart, and I'll you from my heart

I wish you Merry Christmas
