You will feel that gaping hole in your chest...in your life...until the day Emily Margaret is placed in your arms. <br /><br />And what a precious thing to hear an orphan's story explained by a child. I try to protect my kids from the "cruelties" of the world as much as possible, but the two "harsh realities" I have introduced them to early on is that there are kids that don't have a family, and there are kids that don't have enough food to eat. And just recently, we started explaining that there are places where you can get into trouble for loving God. But as we tell them these things we teach them how to give, what adoption is about, why missionaries overseas need to be supported financially...and I have to admit that our "technique" is working out beautifully. :) It's absolutely precious to see your children developing a heart like God's!Tara Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12650391210454775068noreply@blogger.com
