I’ve been waiting and praying for this day to share this
post. She is home. Our
family feels restored.
We are all changed and have grown so much in the last nine
months. Nine months. That is what it takes to grow a child in pregnancy
and go through childbirth – it sorta feels the same for me in that we gave our
lovely daughter to a very special place for 9 long months, awaiting a sort of
re-birth. During that time we’ve reflected
inwardly and worked hard. Most of all –
she has worked the hardest. Many times
it wasn’t easy. And the work remains
ongoing – but we are reunited as a FAMILY again…ready for this next path the
Lord is leading us on as a family.
Thank you to all of you, who held us close, nurtured us all
and supported us in this passage of time.
Without your support and understanding we couldn’t have made it. You know who you are….we love you all very
much! Family, church family, friends and
professionals involved.
We continue to pray daily for strength and wisdom. Tough
days will appear again, I know that but for today, we rejoice. We welcome your ongoing prayers and
support. You can read all the books in the
world, know the ideals – but you still have to put it all into practice and
there are always things that come up we aren’t prepared for in parenting,
especially teens.
Youth
is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of
rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will,
quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness
of the deep springs of life. ~ Samuel Ullman ~
5 days from today we have a Kindergartener, 8th
grader, freshman and junior all hitting the school system. Phew – it will be a fun and busy year no
doubt. I’m so grateful for the Lord in sending
us our children – each one chosen for us.
We are so blessed! Let the celebrating
begin!
Luke 15: 22-24, 31-32
22 “But the father said to
his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his
finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a
feast and celebrate. 24 For
this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So
they began to celebrate.
31 “‘My son,’ the father
said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and
be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost
and is found.’”
