Another quote

Here is another quote about the day his adopted son was born. It gives me chills.

"I wonder what I was doing that day. My old calendar from that year tells me that I was working on my doctoral dissertation, typing way like I am right now. I probably walked to my favorite coffee show and ordered the regular. I was probably also feeling sorry for myself. I don't need a calendar to tell me that. I felt that way every day then.

I'd prayed every morning and night for children. I would have done so that day too, with a desperate whine to my voice. I didn't know that day that my prayers had been answered, in a way beyond all I could ask or even think. I had no way of knowing that the greatest joys of my life so far were here, and yet not here; already and not yet. God wasn't ingoring me. He was training my affections to love these two boys, to be a father theologically, not just biologically".

I can't wait to see how God answers my prayer!
