SLEEPLESS IN SOUTH FLORIDA

Last Monday was a day to celebrate for our family. The final adoption papers were signed in front of a judge in the Broward County Courthouse. Needless to say we were all very happy, not just because it was official in front of men that we were a family, but also it was a confirmation of our Lord that it was his plan.

The next day after school Giancarlo seemed a little tired. We asked him if anything was wrong, and he told us that he did not sleep well the night before. Maribel asked him why?, and he said: he was very excited and happy. He said that he couldn't sleep thanking God because he had parents. Our eyes watered and we realized we did not really think how this made them feel. But not only that, we realize we should be the same way with our Father. Thinking and thanking him constantly about the way he adopted us and all the trouble he had to go through to make this a reality.

We thank God today more than ever and we hope this will encourage and remind many that God has a plan. We are always in his hands, and if we should ever loose sleep over anything, it should be because we are praying to Him, thanking him for His love and the life He has given us in Christ.
