The Hard Parts
Psalm 89:9-12 NIV You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them. [10] You crushed Rahab like one of the slain; with your strong arm you scattered your enemies. [11] The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world and all that is in it. [12] You created the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon sing for joy at your name.

He loved her unconditionally and was always there for her when she needed him, but he never treated her like a baby, nor did he treat her like she was a broken girl. It had nothing to do with the fact that she was an amputee, if only the adoption agency and those asking invasive questions could understand that when the time was right, she would make a good mother. The couple had the means and the ability to be great parents, and there were many children in need of a home, so why could they not recognize this? Despite this, Anna-leis was calm throughout, though he could often see her face etched with frustration. In truth, he did not blame her.

She Gave Me A Gift Too
“The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspi- ration that comes to one when you discover that gsomeone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.”
