Happy World Down Syndrome Day! “She is so kind mom. So kind and gentle and also so, so silly.” - her brother sums it up pretty well. We love our girl. Born at 31 weeks, in the NICU for 53 days, now thriving at home where she is cherished beyond measure. Thank you God! 💛💙💛💙

Living Open-Handed is the devotional I wrote during a season when I really needed to hear these words myself. If you're in a place where you need to be encouraged by scripture and softened by grace, it might be for you too.
