Yesterday was a big day for us. i drove to the ups store extremely excited, actually almost giddy. As i walked to the counter and cradled my belongings, i am sure the women believed me to hold a million bucks in my hand or at least something close to that. When i placed them on the counter she was certainly not excited or amused at all. But i was!!! She didn't even want to hear about the item, but i told her anyway!
i was giggling inside as she rung me up and i paid my bill. See what was nothing to her was huge to me. I had laid on the counter 2 photo albums for the boys. Each a total labor of love. Bundled inside those albums were the faces of thier new family members eagerly awaiting thier arrival. Also they will find pictures of their rooms carefully and wonderfully put together with a "hands of love". And a personal message from us that we are waiting for them as they find thier way home!
See i believe there are simple pleasures that the Creator intends for us everyday that we miss by being "busy" with the overwhelming immediate needs around us. So as i stood there i refused to miss the beauty of the moment. It was a simple pleasure but an amazing one! God is so good!
So we have sent a personal message to them and our paperwork is heading the South American way, so we hope to have some news soon!! Go God!!
Loving Him and you! LeAnn
