Averi lost her front tooth!
After much wrestling, debating, and pleading, a seemingly endless battle turned into a great victory! Daddy finally convinced Averi to"count the cost" and endure the pain of losing her tooth to gain a greater "glory". Daddy told her that in return for letting him pry it out, he would allow her to stay up late and watch a movie with Mommy and Daddy. Only a short moment after such a great request, it was all over. Her toothless grin reveals her exceeding joy!!!

The Lord so humbly reminded me that every sacrifice we make; every suffering we endure; we receive a great reward to which nothing compares! My heart cries out, "Yes, Lord! Whatever it takes. I am yours!"
Like Paul, "I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things." (Phil 3:8)
"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweights them all!" (2 Cor4:17)
