God let me know some time ago that our family wasn't complete...have you ever had that feeling or realization? And yet, at the same time, God was whispering that we would not add to our family in the same way as we had with both T and J...instead, we would add to our family in the same way that both my husband and I became a part of God's family...through adoption.
All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. Ephesians 1:3-6 (NLT)
Adoption is a beautiful thing...if you have not had the opportunity to watch the video "Children of God" by Third Day, do it now. Click on the link below and prepare to be moved.

But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. John 1:12 (NLT)
