Last night we took a poll of Tony's family. We had a list of several names and told them to mark their favorite. Looks like "Lydia" received the most votes. "Mathilda" and "Hillary" tied with 2 votes and "Adeline", "Penelope", "Bernice", "Lucille", and "Leta" each received 1 vote. Hmmm....
We were at the CPA's office yesterday trying to help him finish up our taxes before we go. After I got done answering his questions for me and Tony was answering questions about the business, my mind wandered. It wandered to China and I thought, "I can't wait to buy her some shoes!"
Sitting in church today, listening to the music, my mind wandered again to China (it does that a lot right now!). I started thinking about WHAT things in our lives will change. We'll have a child who will be depending on us to feed and clothe and bathe her. She'll need comfort, education, medical attention, play. Today at church there were many children with their families in the service involved with the "Upwards" basketball program. Maybe she will want to play basketball or be a cheerleader! We'll take her to Sunday School and Bible School. Will she want to take dance lessons, piano lessons (I hope!), be in theatre, drag race? Only God knows what she will like and do with her life. Our job will be to love her, guide her and support her along the way -- whatever she ends up doing -- which is, I'm sure, what all parents plan for their children.
