The miracle of love....

Soon after my third little monkey's birth, I went home to my parents hurt, afraid, and broken. I got a job with them, and lived with them for a year.
While working at this job I met a wonderful woman with a son... do you know where this is going?? Well I didn't, not at first. I had not dated since my divorce, and was still scared of being hurt again. After many discussions, she and I, a date was set up. From the day I met this man, I knew we were meant to be. He seemed to be everything I had been praying for. We had many discussions on this fact, and we both seemed to have the same answer... God had brought us together for a reason.
We dated for seven months and got married in January. Today in fact is our 3 year anniversary! He also has two little miracles of his own. We joined our two families as one that day and I am forever thankful for God's grace on us!
So now along with my three little boy monkeys, I have another boy and a girl monkey in my tree!! All the little monkeys live in our tree full time... Wow!! no one could understand the adjustment that was!! Like being a new mommy and daddy all over again and learning from scratch!! I'll not dare say it has all been roses, by no means... we have had our fair share of trials and pain. But, we have come through the fire tried and tested. And now, you ask??
Well, now we are happier than ever! We love each other all the more for it! Our family is all that much stronger!
Yes, this man, my husband was a wonderful gift from my Heavenly Father, and the two little monkeys, are wonderful little miracles!!

While at the blogger's retreat this past October, I came across some little babies made for mothers who have lost babies. All that day and night as I travelled back home, my thoughts were on my two little babies that I lost. While driving and praying, I felt a sense of peace come around me, and I felt my Father speak to my heart about those babies, while my babies are in His care, He gave me two more gifts to raise, in age order, one before my oldest monkey and one before my second, the same age order as the children that rest with Him! I tell you I cried all the way home, so real was His voice, so obvious His gift! When I shared this with my husband, he just looked at me and said, "you know Tiff, God works in mysterious ways." My mom did as I did and cried and thanked the Lord. Thank You Father for all the wonderful gifts of love in my life!!!
