Thank you for following along during this very busy time of
year. Thank you for praying. And thank you for sharing our joy with
us. We’ve been very blessed.
In my first post I said that I’m glad we did this at
Christmastime. Two millennia ago another
child came to us. He was adopted by his
earthly father putting him in the line of King David to fulfill the prophecy
that a Messiah would come from that line. He lived and died for us and was
resurrected from the dead. That
sacrifice allows us who believe in him also to be adopted into his family.
Susan came to us an orphan who had been left in a park on
the side of a road on the day of her birth. But she now has an equal status
with her brothers as our child and an equal share in any earthly inheritance. In the same way, we who were dead in our sins,
now have an inheritance from our heavenly father because of Christ.
This will be the last blog post. I realize that I’ve got
nothing more interesting to talk about at this point than potty training and
sleep deprivation. Thank you again for
following along. We still appreciate
your prayers - for sleep, for bonding, for family unity... If you want to email or call to check in with
us, we’d love that too.
I’m closing out with a couple more pictures from Gotcha Day
and a few more recent ones to show the difference two weeks makes.
