Something Beautiful

today was one of those truly beautiful moments in life. meeting and holding this child was so humbling and so beautiful. i know i've said that i have had humbling experiences before...but nothing like this. there are no words...none...that can articulate this moment. as we held this child, in front of and with our birth mother, i've never felt the grace, love and power of God the way i did in that room.

my Holy, Abba Father, thank you for the life of this child. for the beauty you create in the midst of all of our sins. i am in awe of you and the grace you pour down on us that are so incredibly undeserving of your love. we pray for your mighty and perfect will to invade our minds, hearts and spirit and that in the coming days we will fix our eyes, not on our own selfish desires, but on you and your perfect and eternal plan. we love you Father. we thank you for taking us to places we never would have gone and never would have survived without you. thank you for taking us further still. thank you for the love we now bear this child and this birth mother, regardless of what may come. blessed be your name.

amen.

peace and love that is overwhelming...
