A Ray of Sunshine

We got some sunshine today.... One of the dear families, who are now friends, that we traveled with for court, cleared embassy and went back to get their son.  We asked them if they would take some pictures and love on Baby T while they were there.  They did.  These friends knows the pain we have been  experiencing... they have been praying with us through this time of such uncertainty... and though they were there for their own journey, they took the time to take pictures and love on our baby for us.  We are grateful... beyond words, grateful.

Today, in our inbox are 11 pictures of our baby.  My heart is so full of joy!!!!

As I write this, I have tears streaming down my cheeks. I was ok, until I just got a text from Will. His text is this: "I am crying. He is so beautiful." "Miss him so much. Wow."  Well, I don't have to hear my husband's voice to send me to tears... I know by the text how he is feeling... and it makes the wellspring overflow...

I see that smiling face... those big brown eyes... and now 4 teeth smiling back at me.  He is beautiful. And I miss him so much.  76 days... our baby has grown so much in the last 76 days.  The Lord is watching over him... He is holding him in the palm of His hand. I have peace about our son... he is in good hands until we can get there.  God, continue to bless the nannies that take care of your babies...

Today is full of blessings - coffee with a new friend, photos of our baby boy, quiet time to spend in the presence of the Lord... for all these wonderful gifts, I am thankful.

May you be safe and sleep soundly through the night
May you be safe as you wake to the morning's light
May you feel our love from so far away,
May it comfort and protect you throughout each day.

We will pray for you my little one,
Until our time of waiting is done.
We will pray that the Lord keep you safe from harm,
Until the child of our hearts becomes the child in our arms.
