This Sunday, our church joined in celebrating "Orphan Sunday". The topic is dear to our heart as we know several families that have adopted or are currently in the process. We've also had the opportunity to love on several children that have been a part of our extended family while in the care of Chase's parents (who serve as foster parents). The video below was used in today's service and features home videos from families in our church body (absolutely precious).

I.Cried.At.Work.
Lately, and with increasing frequency, I stumble upon a blog post that just ruins my day. Immediately I'm convicted. How foolish of me to be consumed with the unfinished laundry. I'm ashamed at the ridiculousness of my frustration about our belongings being stored and scattered between houses; houses that belong to parents who have so graciously allowed our junk to take up their space. How ungrateful I am to have the problem of owning too many things. Every day I am reminded how ephemeral this life is. Every day I am reminded of how God loves us so extraordinarily. His mercy. His grace, in our time of greatest weakness. He never fails. I can't continue with my day until I share this story with you. Take the next 10 minutes to read about Nella Cordelia. Please.
