Gratitude in All Things

Gratitude. So much of our lives are surrounded by things we want, need, or should have. The comparison game creeps in and shatters the content we have with our own belongings. But the truth that we belong to God and we are children of God should not escape our minds. We belong to the Father and he is our provider. This week I found myself asking “what if we don’t adopt a baby?” and of course the next question that followed in my mind was, “would I be content with that?” And would I still be grateful? I’d like to think I would be, but I don’t feel like it would come very naturally! God is good, and he knows the desires of our hearts. We desire to adopt and grow our hearts and our family, but he knows the plans he has for us. So I pray. I pray more now than ever. I pray for my own heart that I would content. I pray for birth mothers considering adoption. I pray for our relationship as a couple. I am so grateful for where I am now, what’s developing in my life, and I’m excited to see what happens this year. #hopingtoadopt #adoption #grateful #content #waitingtoadopt #theyearahead #webelongtothefather #Godisourprovider
