A Child's Mind

My wonderful father-in-law gave us a 60 inch TV last weekend, and a 20 inch one with a built in VCR and DVD player. Since my mother-in-law was moved into the nursing home, they were just sitting in his house collecting dust, and he knew how much we could use them. Daughter had an 18 year old 19" TV in her room that we were planning to pass down to Son, and we were planning to give the 25" we had in the den to her. But when we found out there was a 20" with a DVD player available, we offered it first to Daughter since she is the oldest. She preferred to go ahead and take the 25" and Son cas got the 20". It is really perfect for him, because it has hookups on the front for his Nintendo too.

Anyway, now that you have the background...Last night Son asked me if I thought God had allowed him to get the new TV because he had agreed to the adoption (he was very reluctant at first.) I told him that God does bless us when we are unselfish, and that it was quite possible that the TV was a gift from God. I thought it was really sweet that he was giving God the credit for the good things that are happening to him in his life.

By the way, I just talked to the girls' foster mom! We have scheduled the observation on August 27th in the afternoon. That means I get to meet them in 17 days! She doesn't know yet that we are the ones that are interested in the girls. Agency Worker thought it best that she be the one to tell her. She said that Foster Mom is a wonderful sweet lady, but that the news just might be better coming from her since Foster Mom is attached to the girls.

I'm a bit in shock...I can't believe I'm finally going to meet them. It's ON THE SCHEDULE.
