Here sits a child removed 13,000 miles from all he knows. His parents, and maybe he feels enemies at times, have struggled with the language barrier and defiant behavior. Seth has struggled with EVERYTHING new. All he is surrounded by is new, right down to the very weather. Yet, in the midst of this torrent of emotions and change, God shows me a boy eating Cheerios and strawberries. Not only does God show me this child truly content and smiling between bites; He reveals how He cares about every detail. It strikes me that the spoon I grabbed this morning is a silver spoon. How humbling that our God would watch over every move of this tremendous journey and complete this orphan boys journey, right into the arms of both his fathers with a silver spoon in his mouth.
To all of you who have truly labored in this journey with us, THANK YOU! We are getting better every day and learning so much from a 6 year old, who is the size of a 4 year old, with the curiosity of a 2 year old. Yet his old soul is very wise and reveals so much love through those almond eyes.
Warmest Regards,
Derek
