The Lord, through His kindness has blessed us with a precious child who will soon "officially" be our son. These days as he is learning and growing there are so many moments that are so sweet and yesterday was one of them. James and I were sitting on the couch early in the morning right after he had woken up. I was snuggling him and telling him what a treasure he was to his mommy and daddy, I got close to his face and softly said, "I love you so much." He looked back up at me with those big brown eyes, snuggled in close and with the sweetest tone of voice said, "moooore." I don't know if he wanted "more" snuggles or was telling me, "No, Mommy, I love you more." Either way, Mommy knew what he meant and I am ever so grateful.
Please continue to pray for the adoption process, it looked like we would have completion at the beginning of September. That now looks like it will be either late September or early October. We are at complete peace with the delays, knowing from the beginning that is all just part of the process...and the "process" is totally worth it.
I have to tell you I am giggling as I finish this post...James is dancing in front of the mirror laughing at himself, just having the greatest time with the little brown eyed, curly haired boy in the mirror.
Sweet times. I looked forward to many "moooore" of them.

How sweet! Those are the sweetest moments that I pray will stay ingrained in my memory so I can cherish them always.
ReplyDeleteMy sister-in-law, Brittany, said that when Benjamin is standing in front of a mirror, if you ask him who he sees, he will say, "Brother!" :)
Priceless :)
ReplyDeletePrecious, sweet Amber. I can imagine how your heart must have melted so! Thank you for sharing about your little blessing. What a wonderful Mommy you are to him, lavishing love in the wee morning hours.
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for God's timing in the "official" process, and are so thankful that you and Chad are experiencing God's peace that passes understanding. He is kind and wise. I love you!
Oh Amber, I was so thankful that Katie had a connection to your blog where i could read once again of your life and loves. i feel like I am there when i am reading your words and am so thankful for what God is doing in your lives through baby James.
