It was one week ago today we had
our final adoption court hearing, we are just in the mandatory waiting period before
we can pick up the paper work and start getting things done to go home. We are counting down the days until we can
finally take “H” from the facility and begin the process of getting paper work
done with the U.S. Embassy so we and “H” can finally go home. That little guy sure does have his Daddy and
his Momma wrapped. I told Kathy today
you know we are going to have to be careful or we are going to spoil this young
man absolutely rotten. Momma’s reply is
well spoiling in moderation is ok, and I have to agree. We can discipline our children but they are
blessings and this young man has not had the love of a momma and daddy that he
has needed so we have much lost time to make up for.
Each day we are with him he reminds
us of how many days until we can take him and start for home. Also we have already began the process of
showing him pictures of his brothers and sisters, brother and sister in laws
and the names of each of his nephews and nieces. Also we have been showing him pictures of his
aunts, uncles and cousins and his MawMaw and his PawPaw. We have given each of his siblings, in laws and
his nephew and nieces each a sign that he remembers when we show him a picture
of them. Each day that passes now we
know we are closer to the day we can go and get him and begin the journey that
will finally take us home.
That is the same thing we as
children of God do, we know the day is coming when Christ will return and take
us home to be with him. Except we don’t
know the day or the hour but we are to always be watchful just as “H” is doing
with us. Each day he looks for us and
when our little guy sees his Momma and Daddy he comes running and I get down on
my knee and open my arms wide getting ready to receive my son into my arms of Love. That is how God does me when I run to him, he
gets down on his knee and opens his arms ready to receive me and give me a great
be hug. Why? “For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16 KJV). He
sacrificed more so that you and I could have everlasting
life.
“H” it won’t me long now, just hang
on my son a few more days until momma and daddy comes to get you so we can
begin our journey home. I can’t wait to
get you home and let you meet your family and all of those who have helped make
this possible.
Our picture of the day.

Kathy is right, all things in moderation. The only thing he can't have too much of is love. Hugs, high fives, smiles, laps to sit on and time spent with him. OF course, I'm a big believer in daily chocolate but that is up to you! :)
I second the daily chocolate!

Make the American sign for the letter "C" and rub it in a circle on the back of your hand. That is the sign for chocolate!

My deaf kids taught me that sign early on.
