I have a hard time when I think about all of the senseless violence in this world. It really saddens me. People just don't value life anymore. I know that everything happens for a reason, but it just really makes my heart heavy watching the news most days. God blessed my family today and covered my youngest sister with His grace and mercy, as she was in a store where a robbery and shooting took place today. There are no words to explain the relief that I feel that she is okay and there are also no words to explain the sadness that I feel for the family who lost a loved one today to senseless violence. Maybe because, unfortunately, I can relate so well. I just keep thinking about his family, his mother, the people who love him who will get this sad news today, the week before Christmas. It's never a "good" time to lose someone you love, especially in such a violent manner, but it seems especially hard during the holiday season. Even if you do not talk about it, it's just so obvious that something is off, that someone is missing. The loss is palpable. I have so many thoughts and feelings about this that are flooding me, but for now I will leave it at this-My prayers and deepest sympathies go out to that man's family during this rough time.

I am so glad that you sister's life was spared.
I check into your blog from time to time.
Are you currently adopting or have you already adopted? It sounded as though you already adopted, but I wasn't for sure. There again, it sounds as if you are also adopting internationally as well. I was just trying to get clarification. Those are beautiful girls you have posted! I was unclear as to whether they are you daughters or one of them is your daughters! Maybe I am just slow. Sorry!
Happy Holidays
