“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations”
My brother in law Jake has been away from home for a s e v e n month deployment. During his time away his daughter was born. So on December 22nd he met his daughter (my niece) Mackenzie Maree Vargas for the first time! After almost 5 months he got to hold his little girl for the first time. This sweet precious moment was captured by me!!
The Mrs. eagerly waiting for the return of her love!
Family and friends greeting Jake.
Oh the sweet reunion between my sister and her husband. To see the Vargas family complete makes my heart happy. There's nothing like having a loved one home for Christmas. Jake's homecoming is a Christmas miracle.
God loves to see his children happy
Jake meeting his daughter for the first time.
The love Rick has for his son. This photo gives me chills from all the emotions behind it.
It's the little things in life that bring much joy. Happiness comes and goes like the seasons, but to find joy and to live it out makes the days easier. In order to fully understand we must look to the Father for guidance. To surrendered each day and say "This is the day the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad".
Mackenzie is a courageous lover. A lover of people and of life. Kenzie is a extrovert and is comfortable in large groups. Wherever she goes, whatever she does, Mackenzie will make each person feel special! A true gift from God! Mackenzie, be prepared to lead your generation into a boldness of Christ, like the missionaries. The world needs more missionaries to be the hands and feet of Christ!
Big blue eyes, smooth flawless skin, and kissable chubby cheeks. Can you tell I love my niece?!
First photo together as a family.
My prayer to the Vargas family. I pray for God's protection, I pray for strength, and an abundance of energy. Most of all God, I pray that when the trials get hard and going gets tough, that faith and love becomes the foundation for this family. Amen.
