Our Christmas Blessing

I love the Christmas season because of the extra intentional time to focus on Christ’s birth and the amazing gift God gave to us through Christ. I am humbled and in awe at the fact that God the Father loved His son and us so much that He made the parental sacrifice of allowing Mary and Joseph the opportunity to parent Jesus. Through that sacrifice, the later sacrifice of the cross emerged to grant us all the opportunity to be parented by God if we choose to be a part of His forever family. This truth means more to me this Christmas than it ever has in my entire life. My husband and I received a life-changing call on Dec. 18th letting us know that a mom and dad love their son so much that they made the parental sacrifice of allowing my husband and me the opportunity to parent their son! We will meet our son today and take him home and be his forever family! Adoption – it’s the Gospel! I’m so thankful God has allowed me to be a part of His amazing plan. The wait – worth it!
