Out of the mouths of babes

When putting Trouble x3 to bed, I always ask each one to say something they are thankful for and something that they want to pray for, before we do the "God bless mommy, daddy and all 1,000 friends, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc....  The other night Trouble x1 said he was thankful that he had a mommy and daddy.  That's good for a mommy-heart.  Adoption is good.  Very very good.  " having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will", Ephesians 1:5 (ASV) God did not intend for children to live in orphanages without a mommy or daddy to love them.  We are praying for the 168 million who can't be thankful for a mommy and daddy tonight.  "Jesus said, Let the children come to me and do not stop them, because the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." -Matthew 19:14 (GNT)
