Sacrifice

Sometimes I have moments where I can fall into the feeling that I've forced my older kids to sacrifice by adding little kids to our family. There are many things that we choose not to do in order to have a larger family. Disney isn't really in the budget. Quiet isn't in our near future. They are required to contribute more to household chores.

And then... there are moments like these...


I am literally frozen in my tracks...watching this bond. Her growing, maturing. Him being loved, taught, nurtured. Me - humbled. Sometimes (most times) the challenge provides growth.

You have no idea how deeply this has spoken to my heart! I know our older kiddos are just as passionate about adoption as we are but sometimes I have the same worries. What a beautiful picture of God's beautiful love!
