For those of you that would like to test the functionality of your tear ducts...

I am so thankful that Ellie is not cold or lonely, not forgotten, in the same time zone, though she is missed! I do wish for more than just to tell her Merry Christmas from my heart, but about the deeper truths of Christmas. To tell her about how the Father allowed His Son to not only be far away, but to become the sacrifice for our sin.

A lesson I am always learning, especially in the adoption process is contentment. If I cannot be content waiting, or content even if the Lord did not allow for Ellie to ever come home, I am not going to find contentment in her home coming. I can choose to be joyful in every step and follow Him wherever He leads!
