Thirsty?

Hello everyone,today is Tuesday,my surgery day. I haven't had anything to drink since about 10 p.m. last night when I took some medicine. Adyn and I was watching Bailey catch the bus this morning. This thought came into my mind,I was thinking how thirsty I was and how it would be so nice to have something to drink,just a sip of water would be nice , but I can't!
Then another thought, think of how children and families in other country's are so thirsty and they have to wait sometimes for days.Then another thought on a spiritual level,how people in other country's do not know who the lord is, and they are bound by things and wickedness,or simply just do not know.I think of how spiritually thirsty these people may be. How they thirst for a drink,thirst for food,thirst for family,thirst for love,thirst for peace,thirst for hope,thirst for health??? I think sometimes we forget, including myself the little blessings in life. Like WATER.
At the first of our adoption journey,I thought,we are adopting a child,the lord will let us be a family to her,give her love,teach her of the lord and how great that is. But, this morning I realized so much more.The lord is opening my eyes that this is more then a adoption.The lord wants us to see beyond adoption. It wasn't until now in this process that we are seeing so much more.As I was setting in the car watching the Bailey, I was also thinking of how people and children in other places are suffering from what I was at the time and that is thirst. The burden felt so heavy. Thank you lord for opening my heart this morning and showing me this.I have to say this is where my mind is this morning,I am not concerned with the surgery,the anxiety is gone.Thanks lord. What is your thirst level today?What are you thirsty for? I will talk to you all soon...Have a great day.Gidget
