Two years ago today we met you for the very first time... some in the adoption community call it their "gotcha"day or "forever family" day. I'm choosing today for it to be the day you, my son, made me a mommy for the 4th time! Adoption is hard and beautiful all intertwined with lots of love, mercy and grace. I'm daily reminded of the lavish love and grace so freely given to me~ as I mother my children and see my own brokenness the Father chooses to heal... through His perfect love, grace and mercy!
The first few days of being with you...
... Pics of you with us last week, on your birthday!
Luke, you have a smile that melts my heart, a laugh that brings tears to my eyes, and enthusiasm that competes with that of your dads.. The two of you have something unique in common.. you love life, a challenge and trying it with all of your self!
Two years ago tonight I tucked you into bed for the very first time... Here's a pic of you tonight, precious boy!
Your bedtime routine right now is for me to rock you, to sing Jesus Loves Me (with you starting it), and then climbing into bed. I usually sit for about 10 minutes as you settle in and go to sleep. I pray for you, Luke. I pray you love and accept God's love. I pray your little heart and sadness that you struggle with will become whole again., that God will be the great physician in your life that restores you to Himself and that you know His love and ours, your mom and dad who deeply, deeply love you!
