Lord Jesus, help us to know how sacred is life.
Unexpected mysteries hiding around corners.
Moments of glory waiting along the path.
Oases of silence, listening for Your voice.
Exuberant joy in loud, sticky messes.
You are in, through, above, and below it all, surrounding and filling.
Help us to know You, see You, hear You today.

Meeting Pictures Part 2
Holding hands
Three mommies and a baby: adoptive mommy Michelle, foster mommy Tami, and birth mommy Jennifer
Daddy holding Alana for the first time
Forever Daddy and Forever Mommy make a Forever Family.
Honestly, though this is such a wonderful thing... it almost hurts to look at these pictures. It's beautiful and lovely, but, as Christal said in her own post, it's bittersweet.
The pain is both pleasure and sorrow. Perhaps this is in part why Jesus was called a Man of Sorrows?
Paul, I have seen you look down at each of your children the same way! The awe of the introduction... "Hi baby, I'm your daddy and you are my princess..." What a tender heart you have!
