Now, understand I grew up in a family where music was very important and always on, in fact if I have one of the 70/80s music station on, I have a flood flashbacks of being a child and all these fun memories! So today, Elton Johns - Blessed song came on my radio and I remembered the beautiful summer day where all the windows were open and I was dancing around in my kitchen to this song when I was a child. The funny thing is, I had no clue what the song meant and even as an adult, I never really listened either, I just hummed along casually with the song. Well today was the first time I heard the lyrics and they hit me hard!
Hey you, you're a child in my head
You haven't walked yet
Your first words have yet to be said
But I swear you'll be blessed
I know you're still just a dream
your eyes might be green
Or the bluest that I've ever seen
Anyway you'll be blessed
And you, you'll be blessed
You'll have the best
I promise you that
We know while we are doing all of this preparation that birth families are making adoption plans and that is an idea that is not lost on us. We have been praying for all of them, not only the ones that may choose us. We cant help but think of all the bittersweet planning. That alone, gives us the courage to just hang on and wait patiently as we touch upon 5 months officially and dream about the blessings that will come.
