Today as I sat with my list of many, many things to do, I took a moment to look around my kitchen table. There were my three oldest children doing their school work. All doing a different subject all engrossed in whatever study they were doing. I had to stop for a moment and take it all in. I have prayed for years to have these wonderful people in my life. I thank God for them. I am so overjoyed to have the opportunity to be home with them, to be part of their daily lives. To be able to share the joys, the trials and the journey with those I love. And now I have an extra special blessing to have Mike home for this time and be part of our daily lives. I do truly believe we lost something in our culture when the Fathers started working away from the home.
At times I get down because my hopes for adoption look further away then ever. But, I keep reminding myself that God has a much bigger plan. My heart and home are open for more children to love and share the gospel with, if God wills.
There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up. He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honor. Proverbs 20:20-21
