Caitlyn has the cutest personality and a gift of Grace to her family.
About eight years ago my family met a family with a sweet baby girl named, Corley. Corley became very ill and spent almost the next two years in a hospital. Our family walked with this family through such a difficult time until God gave healing to Corley in His arms in Heaven. My mom, sisters and I shopped for the most beautiful dress to honor this very special little girl and the lessons her short life taught us. Corley wore this dress as we gathered at her funeral to celebrate her life and loving her.

In God's grace He redeemed, restored and gave Corley's family a second daughter and sister, Caitlyn Grace. A few weeks ago my mom and I went shopping at many of the same stores we did for Corley only now it was for Caitlyn's flower girl dress. What a mix of emotions all ending with gratefulness to God of His faithful gift of grace... and a beautiful smocked dress for Caitlyn to feel pretty in.
It's exciting to have Corley's little sister be our flower girl for our lives are a story of God's redeeming and restoring grace. I think I'll have mixed tears of joy watching Caitlyn walk down the isle with flowers and envisioning Corley picking flowers with Jesus.
It's wonderful to think that someday these two sisters will be having a tea party in a garden of flowers sharing lots of giggles and the love of Jesus. I hope my sisters and I get the table next to them so we can share in the giggles and loving Jesus too!
Very sweet post!
