Here's a video from that morning - the two of us were negotiating trades of his hated raisins for my fruit snacks. At the time, I had absolutely no idea what he was saying - today, I understand most of it.
Today, I am praising God for His good and perfect gifts. I can never thank Him enough for leading us down a completely unexpected path into the world of adoption and parenthood. Through His plans for me I have discovered more of who He is, and I have had needs fulfilled that I never knew had existed before. I love this child more than I could ever possibly express through the weakness of language, and today I am rejoicing in his presence in our lives!
Yes, you both have fallen head-over-heels, irrevocably in love with the Y!! He is such a life-loving kiddo! Enjoyed having you with us last week!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this little boy! So thankful that God has blessed our family by giving him to us. So thankful that God used him to open our eyes as well, and that pretty soon there will be 2 more little Ethiopians running around. Can't wait for them all to meet and be best buddies! Love you guys! :)
