Well, this is just the very beginning of our journey to bring home Brock! I pray that the adoption process goes smoothly! I will post more pictures of our family as time goes on, and make this page a bit nicer to look at as well!
I was following another family's blog and "stole" the story below because it is just perfect!!!
Starfish Story
A young girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of starfish had been washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement.
She had been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said, “Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!”
The girl seemed crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, she bent down, picked up another starfish, and hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied,
“Well, I made a difference to that one!”
The old man looked at the girl inquisitively and thought about what she had done and said. Inspired, he joined the little girl in throwing starfish back into the sea. Soon others joined, and all the starfish were saved. - adapted from the Star Thrower by Loren C. Eiseley
Just a few starfish, waiting to be thrown.....
It will make a difference to him!! He is our little Starfish! We can inspire others!
What a cutie!
