Watched Parenthood tonight. It’s another show that makes me cry. Sometimes they’re tears of joy, other times they’re tears of heartache. Sometimes those tears happen in the same episode. Tonight was one of those times. Happy tears for Crosby. Heartbreaking tears for Julia. Whiplash. It’s all good…
The whole adoption thing was what really got to me. I have friends who are adopting a baby girl from China. I’m SO excited. We’ve prayed them through their first two adoptions (domestic) and have been praying through this international adoption and to see it come to fruition has been a TRUE blessing!
I also have friends who are adopting a child from Ethiopia and am excited to see this process unfold.
Add to that, my daughter and son-in-law are looking at adoption as well and I’m amazed and so excited by that. They have been surrounded by friends who take their adoption into God’s family seriously and who want to live that out through adoption of babies who are in need of families who can love them and I stand amazed at that commitment and example lived out of God’s adoption of us into His family. I marvel at it and praise God for it. To see it lived out by my daughter and her husband can only make me praise God for His abundant grace. I look forward to holding that special grandbaby that God gives us.
I wish I could express more eloquently my praise to God for what He is doing in the lives of these young families. This song helps…
