Two new additions to our family
Vanity ^ | May 22, 2012 | Self

Posted on 05/22/2012 6:38:10 PM PDT by Graybeard58

Today at the Tazewell County Court House in Pekin, Illinois, our adoption of our children became final. They are Amber Agee and Nick Agee, ages 13 and 12 respectively.

Amber and Nick are sister and brother and have been in our care for about 4 years and we have been actively pursuing this adoption for the past two years.

Rejoice with us. God is truly wonderful!

Our new children will be reading the comments.

I'm pinging a few hundred of my close friends, if I omitted anyone it was unintentional. If you're pinged more than once, get over it. Just kidding, I'll never make another massive ping like this again.

Amber is cool too, but I couldn’t read her shirt!

I had to go look in the clothes hamper, I don't pay a lot of attention to things like that. It says, "I rock the fashion world".

You’re doing good work.

I adopted a couple of children many years ago; they need the guidance and love.

yeah my kids think Bob Marley is cool too.

I think he’s not cool, but my kids don’t agree.

I think he has some redeeming grace.

"One Love" - Bob Marley

One love, One heart
Let's get together and feel all right
Hear the children crying (One Love)
Hear the children crying (One Heart)
Sayin' give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Sayin' let's get together and feel all right

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love)
There is one question I'd really love to ask (One Heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
Believe me

One Love, One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One Love)
So shall it be in the end (One Heart)
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
One more thing

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (One Love)
So when the Man comes there will be no no doom (One Song)
Have pity on those whose chances grove thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation

Sayin' One Love, One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right
I'm pleading to mankind (One Love)
Oh Lord (One Heart)

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right

What a happy event! Sorry being late to rejoice with you in this note! I suppose none of you really knows whether to laugh or cry for joy and relief for the fulfillment of your desire!

I can grasp a little of your happiness, because my Mom was first a foster child, then adopted. My Grandma and Grandpa Sturm were loving and godly, and brought my Mom up to be fit and very willing to be the lifelong helpmate of a young pastor-in-training, and a God-honoring mother. That means Grandma and Grandpa adopted me too, and saw that I got a good Mom amd Dad.!

"As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man, so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them ..." Ps. 127:4,5a

Our God does the planning when we all follow him!

"Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways." Ps. 128:1

May this be the beginning of many more godly generations ---

I'm very familar with that verse and indeed I'm happy with a full quiver of 4 adult children, 13 grand children and one more on the way and 4 great grand children and now 2 more minor children.

My quiver runneth over.
