You are Her Mother...

Her hair will smell like the sweetest lavender. It will slide through your fingers. Her tiny frame will require your care to nurture it to full health of body and soul. Her eyes will search you for the truth. Your kiss will tell her that she is claimed at last. She will smile. She will laugh. You will be enchanted. You are her mother.
Never lose the dream of her. Never let despair overtake you. The most incredible joy and deepest love belong to you, if you can only wait for the gift.

I was just reading your blog about your church. That is so sad. I attend a church that just celebrated its 200th anniversary! It was built in 1806. THat is so cool that you attend an older country church too. I don't know anyone else that does. Amazing!!!

I wrote it. Whenever referrals come out, it is a happy time. But ultimately it is hard for those of who are waiting. I see a lot of tears. I thought this would help to keep us focused on the reason we're doing it.

That is beautiful. I hope to be able to handle this wait, no matter how long it is. Sometimes it just gets so darn hard. Thanks for this post. It has touched my heart. I may frame it and put it by my computer if you don't mind.
