"I'm lonesome for my precious children. They
callin' and come back home someday.live so far away. Oh, may they hear my
...I brave life's storm, defy the tempest, to bring
them home from anywhere..."
That is a beautiful song and it feels so true right now. Where are our children? And then...WHY do I wonder? I have a 3 yr. old bouncing boy and a 2 yr. old sunshiny girl, a wonderful husband, 4 horses, 1 mule, 5 dogs, 3 puppies, 2 cats! Why is my heart yearning for my children who are not home yet? Crazy? Yes. But it's me, so I guess God made me crazy. I question my sanity, because I know so many people would be perfectly content with a controlled, 2 children, life. A boy and a girl 14 months apart. How perfect! Especially when red tape makes adoption so daunting. Me? As soon as life starts getting too controlled and our youngest reaches 2 it's time for more little ones! And dear husband is right there with me, tho, of course more realistic and unemotional :). And so I travel the world via Rainbow Kids and Reece's Rainbow and many other waiting children websites in search of the next leaf for our tree. So many children needing so many homes. The need is overwhelming. Once again, I remember Mother Teresa's words, "If you can't feed one hundred people, feed one." "Lord, make me a servant. Lord, make me like you. For you are a servant, make me one too." Open our eyes, help us see You and for the trillionth time Lord, please guide us to our family.
