Our Journey of Love to
with Emma Grace!
If all the world thought like a child, it would be a much nicer place.
My daughter teaches me this every day in many ways. One of the simplest ways is the joy she receives and shares from the miracle blessing that is nature. Something that is waiting there for all of us to take in - to see, to feel, to taste, to smell and to enjoy - but often we do not even give any of it a second thought.
Emma Grace can't walk past or towards the front stoop without taking a whiff of every single open bud on her way. Never in a hurry. Never concerned. Knowing all else can wait. Never willing to pass up such an opportunity. Even when we call her name and request her presence quickly now......
.....we are aware that we are going to have to wait until she has finished enjoying herself completely.....with these somethings so wonderful for her to seize. Beautiful gifts just waiting for her.....like the beautiful gift she was just waiting for us.
Showing us her wisdom and changing our eyes to what is really important in life.
It's not monetary things. We as people WANT more then WE need. What's important is love and family. Everything else will fall in to place.
Such a simple thing. Yet simple things have been known to change the world.....for the better.
So many people have told us how wonderful we are to have saved Emma Grace from her life as an orphane and how kind of an action adopting a special needs waiting child living in an orphanage was. We giggle and smile at each other when we hear this..........
......because we know the truth. We are the blessed ones in the mix. We are the lucky ones..........and most importantly - we are the ones being saved...........
......by the smiple actions of a child named Emma Grace.
