SO excited to hang a shiny red ornament on the Christmas tree. For the first time ever.
Finding just the right spot.
Concentrating, because this is serious business.
Pure joy. So, so proud. Be still my mama heart.
Just days before her open heart surgery, Mekdes hung her first ornament and took part in the general chaos that is Heldt-family-decorating-for-Christmas.
This is going to be an amazingly incredible, emotional holiday season for us. Heart surgery on December 2nd, at least a week in the hospital, then home to recover and enjoy what is left of December as we anticipate and reflect on the coming of Jesus.
Redemption, come into the world.
Especially real this year because some of that beautiful redemption is actually living at my house.
And I got a glimpse of it when Mekdes hung her first ornament.
I am humbled.
