Abba, Father!

I read this after putting on mascara for the first time in five days.  Cried because I felt every part of the article...

Maybe we're supposed to adopt as many times as possible so that we learn the processes well and can help support others during their process.  Hopefully through it God's family will be strengthened and multiplied, not by any strength in us (which is all God's grace anyway), but by the power and grace of the Lord.  God's family, our family, our church family - brothers and sisters in Christ - it's all one big family, and our future babies, wherever they currently are.  I pray that they are in God's care, hugged deep within His arms, always.
