I follow a lot of blogs. One click on my profile will show you that I really have an addiction. Recently I tried to purge some from my list so that I would spend less time on the computer, but unfortunately I have found others to take their place. Oh well.
I think the reason I keep reading is because sometimes others can speak what is in your heart, or teach you something that had never occurred to you, or just bring you peace. They make me feel less alone than the voices in my head.
This week I read several posts that make me think really hard about love and God and adoption and the least of these. Things I can't stop thinking about. Things I want to share with everybody.
So today you get to reap the benefits of my addiction.
We'll start with Carrie, who lives and serves in China. Last week she threw a birthday party for a little girl who is in foster care. (While you are over there, you might consider clicking on the Chip-In link to help little Kiah get the heart surgery she needs.) Beautiful.
And then there is Katie from Amazima Ministries in Uganda. She is working with an extraordinary group of women there, not to mention serving her community and parenting a boatload of kids. Amazing.
Christine at Welcome to My Brain is encouraging parents of children with RAD. Her thoughts on therapeutic parenting and love totally challenge parents (in a good way), even for those of us not parenting kids with serious attachment issues. Empowering.
TongguMomma talks about God and adoption, but it isn't at all what you are expecting. And I think it's wonderful. In fact, it reminded me of Katie's post about her work in Uganda (see above). Thoughtful.
And last but not least, it always makes me smile to read about Cheeky over at And Then There Were Seven. Go read her momma's words about love and refilling her "dry well". Inspirational.
