This sweet baby girl is precious beyond words.
Today someone asked me our motivation for adopting her.
I had one answer:
She's so easy to love.
Precious.
Snuggly.
Smiles that thrill me!
Created in the image of God.
Coos that keep me going when I have to leave her to process paperwork.
Brown eyes that penetrate my heart.
Kissable lips.
A life planned by God long before the world was even formed.
Yes, indeed, I am smitten!

Little Miss cried when I put her down for the night last night.
She had not done that before.
I think she misses me!!
Soooo sweet.
Praying she won't have to ever say good bye to you ever again--even if it's just for the night!!!!!
ReplyDeleteof course she misses you Linny! She knows how you love and adore her. Its amazing what little ones can sense.(we did respite care for a little one that smiled and cooed at only me. It was life altering) You havent mentioned when you are coming home!! Still praying.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet, precious post about a sweet, precious treasure! Praying for you, girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteOh Linny, she's just precious. You've been on my mind so much lately. I've been praying for you and sweet Ruby and also for the situation with Sarah Jane as well as the health issues with the girls back home. What a trip I'm sure this is turning out to be for you in more ways than one. Hang in there Linny and know that so many of us are praying for you. I truly can't wait for the day that I read you are bringing your girls home! xo
ReplyDeleteSuch tiny sweet little hands!

I’m sure she does miss the first mother’s love that she can remember. Bless her sweet heart. We are praying for ya’ll
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine what it must feel like to her heart to be loved so completely and unconditionally by human hands that she can feel? No wonder she is smitten with you. That is exactly how you love, even people you have never met in real life.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet! She knows who her mommy is. From what you say how could you not love that sweet little thing!?! Praying for you all!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for your family, and can't wait to hear see God uses this story to bring Himself glory. Praying for you all.

Praying that little Ruby gets to stay with her Mama full time and opened doors for her to go home quickly. Praying for HIs grace and favour, mercy upon her. And that mountains continue to be moved for Sarah Jane. Praying that angels be all around you taking care of you, and for His will be done.
ReplyDeleteHer fingers are precious! I love it:) Still praying for you and your family.
ReplyDeletePraying for Ruby and for you as you go thru time of healing after surgery. Little ones are so fun. Praying that you will be home to the states soon.
ReplyDeletePraying, praying, praying for all of you…
ReplyDeleteOh, those little hands! Of course she loves you...God has been planting seeds in her heart so that she would know she is yours, and HIS. So happy you get to spend this time for you. Willb e continuing to pray that you get to bring your girls home soon. You are an amazing testimony of Jesus' hands and feet......Seriously, the highlight of my day is coming on to see if you have posted.....your words spur me on to live a fuller, more Christ-centered, God-trusting life. Thank you, Linny.
ReplyDeleteLinny, as I've been praying for Ruby, especially related to her fever, I've pictured the story of Jesus taking Peter's mother by the hand and raising her up as he healed her fever...That's why I love seeing your photos of Ruby's sweet little hands!! Big hugs from SC.
