The world doesn't revolve around you...

Our lesson today is that you don't get everything you want when you want it. We don't go eat where you want to eat because you want to. We don't make the boys change what they are doing because you want to do something where they are. I have been preaching about serving others and blessing one another. This has been heavy on my heart the last few days. I was blessed to hear Pam Tebow speak this week. She talked a great deal about serving others and selflessness. Today, our message at church was on blessings. We need to bless others, not curse them. This is what I am working on with all five of my children currently. We have a good home to practice serving each other right now. Our speaker spoke on how important the blessing of the father is to children. I pray that we can bless all five of our children. I wonder what happens with adopted children? Do they desire the blessing of their birth father as they get older? Will we as their parents, be able to bless them and fulfill that desire? I am trusting God to guide us through this entire process as he has so far!!
