Through this shower I have been taught a valuable lesson about God's love:
I wanted Ashley's shower to be great. I wanted it to be a beautiful celebration. I wanted a lot of people there. I wanted her to feel special- because, she is. Out of the 24 that attended- Ashley only knew about 5 or 6 of the ladies. These amazing ladies showed up with gifts, hugs, words of advice/encouragement and LOVE! I put a call out to close friends and boy was I surprised (and brought to tears) at the response! I invited people to attend a party for someone they have never met- and they THANKED me!?!? That is God's love in action. I will never find words to describe how amazingly blessed I feel to be surrounded by such selfless love. So- THANK YOU to all that prayed, drove 2 hours, helped, brought tables,cooked, cleaned, sent gifts, attended, brought gifts, and most importantly- showed Ashley, (and ME) such Christ-like LOVE. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Here are some pictures from the party:

So, to Ashley Jackson (baby Zeik) and Chris Santana- God Bless you three! I love you all. I will always pray for your family and thank God that He created it. The shower was the fun, easy stuff- now on to the hard, enjoyable stuff! Ann
