Thank you for sharing your family with the world. Your words about loving David “for who he is and not for who we thought he would be. we had to journey, step by step, to understand the amazing gift that was placed in our arms” is really something all parents need to learn for each unique child who comes into their lives. We have 5 birthed-by-me children, and 3 adopted-cross-culturally children (& 4 still-born children waiting for us in heaven). It took me well into the adulthood of my oldest 2 daughters before I even began to learn what you learned through parenting David. And not accepting them for who they are almost cost me a relationship with my God-sent amazing daughters. You’ve had a very hard ‘school’ in which to learn to love unconditionally, but you have learned this miracle-working kind of love. I’m still learning. God bless you and my prayers are with you all.
Happy weekend! Linked to your shop today on my blog : ) Can’t wait for my new necklace to arrive!! (My first of many purchases from your shop, I’m sure!)
Love this picture of your family! Seems to capture your personalities in their own unique ways.. Hope you enjoyed your day!
It does! Thanks Beth! xo
