Summer fun has begun in our house!
We hope y'all have a wonderful start to your summer!
Here are some link finds from my week::
::Examing Adoption Ethics: Part Three::
"A crisis of this magnitude is going to take us all - all the mamas, all the daddies, all the countries, all the workers. Some of us will raise the money, some will raise awareness, and some will raise the kids. Certain families will rally from here, and other families will pack up and move to vulnerable countries and do the work. Some of us will be starters, some executers, some funders, some visionaries. We collectively must insist on helping and not hurting, refusing to discredit the weak links in the system and instead insist on shoring them up."
::Comparisons Stink::
"And I desperately need God's truth to bump into my weaknesses every single day. Only then can I get out of the shadow of doubt and into the life-giving reality of who God has made me to be. And see it as good. Not perfect. Not even close. But good. And good is good."
::Drowning Doesn't Look Like Drowning::
"In many child drownings, adults are nearby but have no idea the victim is dying. Here's what to look for."
::How not to say the wrong thing::
"If you want to scream or cry or complain, if you want to tell someone how shocked you are or how icky you feel, or whine about how it reminds you of all the terrible things that have happened to you lately, that's fine. It's a perfectly normal response. Just do it to someone in a bigger ring. "
