"Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are My disciples." John 13:35
On this day of love, hearts, flowers and loads of chocolate, my heart has been contemplating this verse. How do my actions and love for others reflect His heart? Will I love others tomorrow (and the next day and the next) as much as I do today?
I'm thankful that the best gift of love I have ever received was a Savior on a cross. Amen.
In adoption news, there is so much going on! The good news is not with our adoption, but with our best friends the Koegles! They should be bringing their boys home by the beginning of March! We have prayed and traveled this journey with them for three years and it is a bit surreal to think that their family is about to expand. God is good and His plans are always best!
I have also had the joy of becoming cyber friends with an amazing woman, Kristen, who is in India to bring home her daughter FOREVER!
The Rich family was also blessed with their new addition, Olivia, through adoption last week. Again, He is good and His love endures (even through the really tough times!)
All of these exciting things happening with others' adoptions have been a great distraction for me. While we are in this waiting period, He reminds me that He has it all under control. He loves our child more than we ever could and He works all things in His timing.
I'm off to devour another piece of chocolate :-)
Such a cute pic of your family. Mmmm...chocolate. I've had a bit too much chocolate these days.
ReplyDeletePraying for you to have continued patience in the waiting. <3
