ORPHAN SUNDAY

The first Sunday in November is National Orphans Day and we went out to New Life Church in Baskin to celebrate with Hope for Life!! They had planned a special service and invited all the families that had adopted. It was precious to see all these beautiful children there and knowing that their families all had equine story of their own journeys. There was a couple sitting in front of us and their sweet little girl was Zoey and she had been home for over a year. She was beautiful and I was lost in her eyes, is something about the connection you have in own that those eyes look just like the eyes of your daughters that you had met yet. When it was time for the children to go back to children’s church she seemed hesitate to go, I asked her if she wanted to go with Peyton to play and she just ran over and jumped in my arms. It was a little gift from God in that moment as my heart was filled to the top holding this little Chinese girl in my arms. If almost took my breath to think this would be the way it would fill to hold my little girl. I was pleased that she found comfort in me because as a mother waiting to go get your child I think you worry about not being able to comfort them. I didn't want to leave her in the back but I pulled myself away after she quickly got wrapped up in the snacks and fun time. I am over joyed to think that our daughter will be the youngest new addition next year.
