Pour out your
heart
Realize God
will answer
Always believe
Yield to what
God says
Our biggest
answered prayer came 6-1/2 years ago wrapped in a blue blanket.
We are the
parents to an only child - a son. He in
return married an only child. We knew
when they married that our daughter-in-law may not be able to have any
children.
We prayed
for many years for a grandchild. We
prayed for a natural grandchild or an adopted one. We would accept and love whatever God blessed
us with.
After our
son and daughter-in-law had been married 8 years, we thought our prayers had
been answered. We were going to be
blessed with a granddaughter.
Unfortunately that adoption fell through. Our daughter-in-law was heartbroken. On the other hand, we never felt this was the
child God had for our family. We were
right. God had another baby, a little
boy, already being created just for us.
Our prayers were answered five short months later.
He fits into
our family perfectly. No one would ever
know he’s adopted because he looks like his mother and his Paw-Paw. He has personality traits like us as well.
God created
him just for us. God is so good. He knew just what we needed. We look forward to seeing God’s plan for his
life.
