Hello from Madeira Beach Florida. Thresa and I are having a great time here. But the real reason for this post is something to reflect on that, frankly, stretched my mine and imagination a little bit.
We were at church this morning and I was praying for Sara. Actuallly, I pray three ways for her: That she and Kel can grow into parents, that Sara can become a great birth mom and that Baby Robson can grow into a healthy baby. By the way, I pray for all of our kids and their situations. As I also pray for Anna's birth mom/family along with the birth mom/family of the boy that was born. Anyway, it then occurred to me Karen and Jeremy were finalizing their paperwork and video to start the process for their next adoption. And that got me praying for them too. But .... (here comes the deep thought) ...
Somewhere in the world is a family that has a pregnancy or will have a pregnancy. Since we "know not the hour", a baby for Karen and Jeremy could be close or a year or two away. I know the joy and elation we felt when Sara told us she was pregnant. But this mystery family may or may not have such joy. They may not even know that a pregnancy has or will occur in the future. All that they know is that they will choose life for a precious baby. Somewhere out there is a woman that will be the birth mom for Karen and Jeremy's future child. So I started praying for her and her family too. God's will will deliver a child to Karen and Jeremy on His time. This family needs our prayers.
Anyway, we all need to pray for this family in addition to all of our other prayers. "Somewhere out there" will be a precious baby that will become family. I know I just mixed quotes from the bible and "An American Tale" but it seemed OK at the time. Anyway, that was my prayer morning. Sara, you got your full compliment of prayers too.
