Turn a sorrow of life into a joy

Pain is inevitable

misery an option
but the sorrows of life
can be turned into joy

We have an adopted family
A son
A daughter
A grandson

Not mine
Not his
Not ours by birth
Not ours by a court ruling
But simply and most preciously,
through love

The sorrows of
no child of our own
became the joys of
a grandchild
to love
and be loved by

Thank you Lord
for this precious blessing!

Thank you Lord
for turning a sorrow of life
into such a joy.

Thank you Lord
for our adopted family
