Letter of Encouragement

I received a letter in the mail today from a lady at our church. It has truly blessed my heart and so I wanted to share it with you in hopes that you to will send on encouragement to others in need. This letter was addressed to me and 3 other ladies at my church. I will only be including the text that was directed to me.

“Allison, I admire you so much because I love adoption so much. And to take on a sibling set!!! I love that you did what no one else would do. You are doing what you are supposed to be doing if I may say so myself. I believe that when you are living in God’s plan for you that everything will fall into place. And that he will give you the desires of your heart. My most specific words of encouragement I would like to offer you is how great of a job that you are doing with your family. You can take one look at those seven young children and see what a good Mom that you are. How I would describe your family, and don’t laugh, is calm, peaceful, and safe. I know it may not always seem that way or feel that way but you exude strength along with a calm and peaceful nature and your entire family has and will benefit from you just being you. There will never be another Allison and that is why God chose you to do what you are doing right now. And I do pray that you get enough sleep!! You are smack in the middle of the sleep deprived years but that is why God, most of the time, gives kids to the young!! And please pass this along to Jonathan as well. We always give credit where credit is due!”

Please encourage someone today, as I know it was such a blessing to me.
