Tonight I stood as an adopted child of God holding my own adopted twenty-three-month-old East African son in a country where we couldn’t have sat together fifty years ago surrounded by white middle-class Baptists singing an old Christian hymn written by a former slave trader who had repented of enslaving my son’s ancestors. Amazing grace, indeed.
Just finished watching the movie Amazing Grace with Peter and the Forsyths. For some reason Judah and Placerita brought it home just a little more.
We are so happy for you guys!
Gunner, FYI you might enjoy reading Dan Cruver’s blog on adoption–human and spiritual! The blog is at, http://www.carolinahopeadoption.org/blog/
Reading that causes me to Praise God!
It is “Amazing” isn’t it? :-)
What is also quite amazing is the wonderful picture(s) and illustration(s) God ‘effortlessly’ grants adoptive families through simple daily living! They are many and precious!
