Thankful Thursday

If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.—Oswald Chambers

Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for some very special friends of ours who are working to adopt some wonderful children through the Foster To Adopt system. I have watched them go through a roller coaster of emotions and conflicting information in the last year. I have prayed for them and cried with them and asked for God’s protection of these beautiful children – no matter where they end up.

I am thankful that they continue to love through all of the uncertainty. Nadia and I went to their house today for a little cake fest for the little girls birthday. She loves pink and so I even made the cake batter pink. We can’t put photos of them on the Internet, so a shot of the cake will have to do.

I am thankful for the little things that make Nadia happy. For example “Curious George Pancakes with Blueberries”. I bought her this book a few weeks ago and it has a reciepe on the back so one morning I asked her if she wanted me to make them for her. “With Blueberries?” she asked. I happened to have some in the freezer so we made them and she was so happy. (of course she didn’t eat the blueberries, but that just made me laugh because she is our ‘no fruit’ girl) So she ate around the blueberries on one and then ate a plain one.

It’s just so easy to make small children happy.
