Blessings

I have to take a moment and "brag" on my eldest. She has really been a blessing to me this week. I took her to lunch today since she got out of school early, and she really was sweet and appreciative, which is so refreshing ya know. At lunch, she got our drinks, mine first, then got extra salsa for us and even my take home box. She seemed to enjoy serving me. Wow! I know we all have good days and bad days, but I can really see God at work in her life, especially with her parents. Sisters, that could be another story, but she did even buy an bigger slurpee with her own money just so she could share with her sisters. I know these may seem like little things, but to me it shows her heart is becoming more like Jesus, little by little.

I've also been so blessed watching the Borms' and their newly adopted children. They are sweet, loving kids and this has all just touched my heart. Delaney, my eldest, has been touched by them also and has already gotten the privilege to bond with them Wed. and then get to watch them tonight for a couple of hours. I told Shana it was interesting that she called tonight because as we were going to lunch today, Delaney asked when we'd get to see them again. I told her I wasn't sure. Little did we know Delaney would get to watch them tonight! When I told her, she jumped up and down. Shana was pleasantly surprised by her enthusiasm. I am thankful for Delaney to get this opportunity to come alongside in a very small way at helping this family and learning about the gift of adoption at the same time.
