      “And what are your Christmas dreams?”

      Marshall strained for her answer. But Ainsley shook her head.

      “They don’t matter. I take life one dream at a time. I’m glad to be here with the babies. And after Christmas my real dreams will begin. I want the job in the ICU. Then, hopefully, I’ll get into the nursing program. Everything else is icing on one of these gingerbread cookies.”

      Why he felt let down, he couldn’t say. Maybe he’d hoped he could play a small part in her Christmas dreams.

      “And now I get to ask if you have any Christmas dreams of your own.” Her face glowed.

      “Well, I would like to sneak one of those cookies after we ice them.”

      She laughed, the sound joyous and tinkling. “I think I can arrange that.”

      Spending the afternoon and evening with Ainsley was all the Christmas dream he needed. Dreams never worked out all that great for him anyhow. But if he did have one, it would be for this time with Ainsley to last.

      Wanting more was a dangerous thing.

      Dear Reader,

      Babies and Christmas—two of my favorite things! When I got the idea to write about quadruplets, I pictured tiny toes, wiggly bodies and all those soft, squishy cheeks waiting to be kissed. And I also could see a mom struggling with postpartum depression and not realizing it. Marshall and Ainsley came to the rescue, but in so many ways, the babies rescued them. It’s funny how life works. Sometimes tough situations lead us to clarify what we really want out of life.

      This Christmas season, I hope you’ll take a few minutes to bask in the beauty of God’s love. He doesn’t think less of us when we struggle—He sympathizes with us, loves us, wants the best for us at all times. No matter what joys or troubles the holidays bring, lean on the One who adores you—Jesus.

      Have a very merry Christmas!

       Jill Kemerer

      The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

      —Zephaniah 3:17

      For all the parents and caregivers of multiples. May you be blessed.
