We recently have had the privilege to be a part of Calvary Memorial Church's annual Christmas pageant. We played the "silent" part of Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus. Greg's godparents, Aunt Eileen and Uncle Kenny approached us in September, and asked if we would consider. They thought Ethan's surprise arrival and blessing would be the perfect "Jesus" fit. The words to the songs that were sung while we were in character, holding Ethan, brought tears to my eyes! My favorite song of the pageant was "Beautiful Surprise." The words fit so perfectly with how Ethan joined our family and all of our emotions as we tried to understand (as I'm sure Mary and Joseph were many years ago) what God was doing in our lives. Ethan is truly our beautiful surprise!
