BLESSED!
Today was Keatons dedication, and i have to say, it was awesome.I attended church, and we sat with the rest of his family. Because, as Robin and Heather have said since day one, we are his family, and that makes it so much easier.I dont know how to explain it, they are just great! Perfect...They included us, introduced us to everyone, and they were so open with it. Their family talked to me and my family like we had been a aprt of the family all along. Like i knew all of them for years. they kept telling me how beautiful kathleen is, and how beautiful Keaton is. And they kept telling me "Thank You." "R"s mom kelt telling me how this was such a precious gift. but, i feel like, we gave eachother a gift. I gave them the son they were unable to carry, and they gave my son the life i am unable to provide for him. What better gift is there, then the gift of life? Wither it is given at birth, or in the years that follow?Before this adoption even started to plan itself out, i had doubts on my faith, and God. But now, I know he is real, more real then anything else in this world. And i know that now, because of the wonderful life he has begun to give me."R"s mom told me that, you cant out-gift the lord. The more blessings and gifts we give to others, the more we get back. I guess i never looked at it that way. I just thought, it was an exchange of the gifts i talked about above. But now i see, God placed this child inside of me for this couple, and now that i have followed through with his big plan for me, he is now giving me a freedom to follow through with all the other plans he has for me; a life of love, blessings, and support from every one.I dont know what else to say... Its just so clear now... I finally get it, and it feels so wonderful!
