Trouble with page content displaying on the same page as posts..

Hi everyone!

I am making a theme for a client and I am having a little trouble getting page content entered in the admin side to display at the top of my page.

This is to be the blog page and I would like them to be able to add there own content for the page at the top and then followed my the blog posts.

The code below might help to explain the situation!

<?php get_header(); ?>

    <div class="container">        
        <div class="grid__col--12">
            <h1 class="page-header">
                <?php wp_title(""); ?>
            </h1>
            <p class="page-content">
                <!-- Wanting Page Contnet to go here! -->
            </p>
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="container">
        <div class="grid__col--8">

            <div class="post-wrap">
                    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
                <div class="post container">


                    <div class="grid__col--9">
                        <h1 class="post-header">
                            <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
                                <?php the_title(); ?>
                            </a>
                        </h1>

                        <p class="post-date">
                            <?php the_time( 'F j, Y' ); ?>
                        </p>

                        <hr class="post-hr">

                        <p class="post-lead">
                            <?php echo strip_tags( get_the_excerpt() ); ?>
                        </p>

                        <?php the_category(' '); ?>

                    </div>
                    <div class="grid__col--3 hide-mobile">
                        <?php if( get_the_post_thumbnail() ): ?>
                        <div class="post-img border-radius hide-mobile">
                            <?php the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail' ); ?>
                        </div>
                        <?php endif; ?>
                    </div>



                </div>

                <?php endwhile; else : ?>

                    <p><?php _e( 'Sorry, no pages found.' ); ?></p>

                <?php endif; ?>
            </div>
        </div>

        <?php get_sidebar( 'blog' ); ?>


    </div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Hope you can help people!

Why don't you register a widget area that displays in that area with the conditional

 if ( is_home() ) {
  // blog page
}

and add a text widget.....

Hope this helps trigger a solution!
