And yes, I think it's important to acknowledge our brokenness - instead of pretending and being in denial. Denial will not allow us to see the truth in the bad, but it allso will not allow us to see the truth in the good either.<br /><br />{{hugs}}Cheerio!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00709663898726245342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881694936200344846.post-60466628607099063942010-04-19T08:58:01.560-04:002010-04-19T08:58:01.560-04:00Thank you for your comment, Von.

But I agree that religion, especially those faiths that proclaim a God with all power and unending love should never promote adoption. Yes, that's what I agree is perversion!!! Out of one side of their mouth they say God answers prayer to meet all our needs - yet out of the other side of their mouth tell an expectant mom that she doesn't have the resources to parent. Where did that God of yours suddenly go?Cheerio!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00709663898726245342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881694936200344846.post-22001230892713204272010-04-19T00:18:04.028-04:002010-04-19T00:18:04.028-04:00Thank you so much for this post.

Instead there can be some beauty from my life, despite the brokenness."<br /><br />We ARE broken. We are living withouta part of use that was never supposed to be broken away from us... but its usually when we are at our most broken that we can finally see the rays of sunlight peeking through the darkness. When we are on the ground and have no where else to go. We can only see these things when we acknowledge how broken we are and see how we can still achieve beauty in spite of our 'brokenness'.<br /><br />You are giving beauty, through the pain. You are hear, writing, sharing a part of your soul, gently helping others with your experiences.<br /><br />God Bless you richly Cheerio, and your hubby. I still think of your precious little flowerbud so often and carry you both in my heart.<br /><br />Much, much love,<br />Myst xxxMysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07425550479815459790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881694936200344846.post-43672875777968800952010-04-18T19:03:41.398-04:002010-04-18T19:03:41.398-04:00Too right!!A brave post and good to see you here.T...Too right!!A brave post and good to see you here.That tree, like you, has the beauty of strength, charachter and survival, which will always make it stand out from the others.<br />Religion an adoption should never mix, it has been a cruel perversion of what families should/could be.Vonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421069895155350144noreply@blogger.com
