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.

My Blessings
I have been soul-searching about this blog. Obviously I haven't posted on here consistently in a long time. I haven't known quite what the purpose of it is now. At first it was just to post my thoughts about whatever. Then it was to share about my family. Then about adoption. Then came Facebook, and sharing about my family became much easier. Anyway, you know the story. I'm sure many others have had a similar journey.
But I still want to share on this forum. I love to post things that might encourage others. But sometimes doing so can make me self-conscious and overly interested in what others think about what I post. So I have decided to try again. Only this time I have removed comments so that this can just be me sharing. I hope that it is encouraging.
In the meantime, above is an updated picture of my seven blessings. And we have another on the way ... due July 2!
God bless.
