So tonight, amidst my busy-ness from coming off a full day at work and trying to get dinner ready, I nearly missed a precious moment with Dorie. She
really wanted to have a tea party...I
really didn't. I almost told her no. But the Lord prompted me and gave me the strength to say yes. At first I told her we'd just have juice. I could see the disappointment on her face, so I went ahead and made a small bit of tea. She filled up her tiny sugar bowl. She asked me for some milk for the pitcher. And maybe a treat? (Before dinner??? But I pulled out two Oreo cookies). As we sat drinking our tea, our conversation went like this:
Dorie: Mommy, would you like some more tea?Me: Oh, yes, please. It's delicious.Dorie: Thank you! While we're drinking our tea, let's write about what we like best about our tea party.Me: Okay.And this is what she wrote:
"I love being with my mommy."
Can you believe I almost passed that up??????
: )
ReplyDeletelove it!
ReplyDeleteSo happy you decided to have the tea party.....well worth it!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI stumbled upon your blog through A Place Called Simplicity. Anyway, I was immediately drawn in by the story of your adoption. I am a single girl (I don't feel old enough to call myself a woman :] ) currently attending college. God has placed on my heart a sweet little girl that I will, one day, find. Her name is Jane, and she's somewhere in Africa. That's all I know, but I am trusting God, believing that one day He will bring me to my little girl. I don't know that I'll be married when this happens, so it is so encouraging to me to see a Godly, single woman who has answered God's call in her life to adopt. Thank you for your testimony, and for sharing that with all of us.
In Him,
Brittany
