That Extra Effort

Some things just take a little more effort...

Some things just aren't quite as easy as they should be...

and that's OK...

cause in the end...

it is soooooo  worth it...

sooooooo worth it...

and when I see my other kiddos participating in the "extra effort"...

when I see the love in their hearts for their siblings...

the love that has grown in such a short amount of time...

I am again reminded of how little "our lack" truly means...

"the lack" that has grown as each sibling has come home...

"the lack" that the world will tell you means everything...

"the lack" that means less and less to our children as their hearts grow more and more.

Are we perfect...

no....

Do we sometimes want what we don't have...

yes...

but the Lord is doing a mighty work within our hearts and it is from the "extra effort" and "the lack" that we are blessed the most.
