Entrusted...

Something struck me tonight as I was putting the kids to bed. I put Nicholas in his crib after he had fallen asleep in my arms that our children are not ours. Then I read a story to Elizabeth as I tucked her in to bed for the night. It struck me that these beautiful children are God's precious gifts that He has given to us to take care of. I knew that before tonight, but sometimes it just hits you again. There are many days I look at my kids & get tears in my eyes because of the love I feel for them. They are such a blessing! I can't imagine what life would be like without them here & I thank God every day (several times a day) for the incredible blessing He has given to Catherine & I.
