Blessed to be a Part of a Blessing!

 

  There is no way I can express what my parents have done and who they are to me.  My mom and dad have blessed me, taken care of me and supported me not only threw my childhood but all of my adult life. In the worst times of my life, when I thought no one understood and I felt so alone, my mom was up nights praying for me. My dad walking me threw so much of my brokenness with his understanding and his constant acceptance of where I am in life and loving me anyway. I have put them threw a lot of heart ace and worry over my short life, not to mention all the financial burdens that has come with having a kid like me...yet never once have they held it over my head, never asked for an apology or been bitter by what I have put them threw (and trust me when I say, I know for a fact a lot of other parents would have been!)! All they have ever shown is love and thankfulness that I am so happy now in love with Justin and that God keeps blessing me in spit of myself!
  Now that I am married they have opened the same love and generosity to him. They have helped Justin and I so much threw the first year of our marriage by letting us stay in their home with ridiculously low rent. It has helped so much that even though Justin was laid off a week and a half ago, we have been able to keep up on all our bills without filing for unemployment and feel secure that we can continue to do so until he starts a new job.
  They have never let up on allowing God to use them in my life and in the lives so many others! Now, for whatever amazing reason, God has given Justin and I the honor of being a bridge for them to receive a wonderful blessing! A meeting between these amazing new Grandparents and their first genetic grandchild, Arianna Faith Jubilee Lilley! The first Lilley grand-baby! My parents have just landed in Kona Hawaii and should be enjoying Greg, Rach and Arianna right now! I know it sounds odd and even stupid but I got chocked up, had tears in my eyes the moment I new my parents where getting off the plane and meeting the newest member of our family. I couldn't help but imagining what my parents faces looked like and the happiness they must be feeling. I am so full of joy because God has given me this small role in His plain for my parents first meeting with her!

  Thank you God for allowing Justin and I to give a drop of water back to the people that have provided me with an ocean of blessing and love!!!
