I Think I'll Keep Them

I often say it.  Mostly just joking around, especially after telling some horror story about their little boy behaviors.  But it hit me this morning…the only reason they are a part of my life for even just a moment is because ALL the people in this world who were SUPPOSED to LOVE and KEEP them…DIDN’T.


WHO COULD THROW HIM AWAY???
But they did.  They all did.

People talk about my “sacrifices” and my “missionary spirit”…


…but how is anything less than scooping him up and giving him a beautiful home normal??

I talk about them being my sons, but nearly everyone disagrees with me saying that once I have my “own” children I will “feel” differently.  I don’t believe them.  As much as I know that a child in the womb is a gift of God, I am equally sure that He has given these children to me.


So yes, I think I will keep them.
And love them as my sons.
Because GOD said I’m supposed to.

And I'm so glad that He did!
