William and Lydia are home also Derrick and Momma. they arrived Friday night and there was a warm welcome among our friends and family. It became crazy after we got home I had thought they would be exhausted from the travel but the kids finally gave up with my force of will about midnight. It was wonderful to see their smiles and surprise at our new home which raised the money for the adoption as we worked on the house instead of hiring contractors to raise the money.
As I have contemplated the events in our bringing Will and Lydia home it is amaizing to me who knows and has faith in the Lord that we have had so many touches of His hand it seems that there are countless times so many that I can't count them all. We have been blessed!!
I was thinking about the changes in my life sense I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints it is baffling and this was brought to my attention by my Mother who asked why I wanted to adopt these kids at an age when most men look to retire. Because of my faith that God has lead me to this chance to serve these children and be in my poor way to do as commanded by Jesus Christ "that you feed my sheep" "that as you serve the least of these you are but in the service of your God" My heart, mind and actions are so changed, from a "wild eyed heathen" to a servant of Christ.
Will just came in and attacked me in play.
well said!!
