Today I want to thank God for the miracle of adoption. As many of you know adoption is a very big part of my life. When I was 12 years old I asked Jesus to come into my life and be my Savior. I believe it was at this time I was "born again" spiritually. The Bible says I became a child of God. I guess all of us are children of God. Some of us are lost, others have found a way home (the way home is through Jesus, he is the door to God). I was in one sense adopted spiritually into one big family. I've felt adopted too. I have brothers and sisters all over the world. People, who also know our Father, people who share the same hope & love. My heavenly Father has also instructed me. He cared about my character. He wanted me to share his heart.
Juergen and I have adopted 3 children, Philip, Thomas, and Sarah. It has been such a great honor to be their parent. Sure it is allot of work at times. All children are work. To me it feels like being the Fairy God Mother in Cinderella. They were in rags, and now they can go to the ball. I will never doubt I was able to make a real difference in this world. God has given me this gift called adoption. First He adopted me and raised me with love and discipline. Now I have this ability to do the same thing. For me the greatest honor would be introducing them to our heavenly Father. I will not always be with them, but they can always have a family.
