Our friends have returned home from Ethiopia with their new daughter, Solie-Koket. We had the incredible experience of welcoming them home at the St Louis airport yesterday afternoon. The range and depths of emotions I felt during this welcome home celebration, no words could describe. Seeing them come around the corner, seeing them see all 17 of us (family and friends), watching as their oldest daughter, Bianca, ran as fast as she could to jump in their arms and meet her new little sister, seeing Solie's grandfather and grandmothers melt at the sight of their son and daughter holding the newest member of their family, and experiencing the love of friends emotionally taking it all in, even the children present, so full of joy at seeing the miracle they had been praying so long and so hard for, being a first hand witness to the body of Christ. . . right there in the baggage claim at the ST Louis airport. . . God you are good!
