Already missing them...

A week from tonight will be our last night with the children. I'm a little teary thinking about it. Oh, how I will miss them! The children will be staying with dear families, but my mother's heart aches at wondering what I will miss in their lives during this indefinite time apart. The late night chats, the snuggles, the read-alouds, the dinnertime chaos of everyone wanting to share about their day ... They are the Lord's. Truly, they are His. I just love them and my heart is already breaking at the thought of leaving them. Please join me in praying for the Lord's grace upon our family as we each do our part in being His hands and feet to bring Katya home. I'm already missing them ...
