Here's a picture of a cross-stitch I finished years ago. It's a treasure to me because, in addition to all four children's names being stitched around the sides, "Families Are Forever" with our family name is stitched at the bottom (right clicking and opening in a new window will give you the entire picture enlarged).
Actually, I finished cross-stitching this picture years before I stitched in the names. I just knew the Lord might give us one or more children in addition to these four, and I wanted to wait so their names could be included.
I finally decided to go ahead and complete it with Micah and Hannah's names on one side and Jonathan and Sarah's on the other and have it framed. It has always been a special cross-stitch reminding me that the Lord is the One who gives life and puts families together with just the number of children He wants us to have.
