A couple of weeks ago we were all sitting around the living room and we were talking about Amos. We have always talked about our children even when they are not home with us. It helps bonding for our kids. They KNOW that Amos and Story have always been their brother and sister, b/c for over 2 years now their names have come up EVERY SINGLE DAY at our house. I love it.
Okay back to the story …. we were talking about Amos when Story started pointing towards the wall. She was pointing and saying Amos. I thought she was confused and telling me that Amos was in the other room. I encouraged her that Amos would someday be there, but he was still in Haiti with Licia.
We kept on talking and Story waddled on over to a table behind the couch and brought this picture back to me and said “AMOS”! She has seen this picture there since the day we got home and heard us talking about Amos and had to show me that she had seen him!
It was the cutest thing. She named all the boys and it was so good for me to know that she remembers Amos and that she too thinks about him. I know he thinks about her and it will be a joyous day not only when our boys meet their brother, but when this brother and sister are reunited. Oh Jesus let it be quick! Cayden prayed tonight that Amos would be home before the last day in January. I'm down with that!
That is so precious. Children do know people by pictures. My nephew never met my brother till he was about 1 1/2 years old. When my nephew walked into my moms house and saw my brother standing there he ran right into his arms. Then my nephew pointed to a picture of my brother. It was so special. It was like my nephew new his uncle all his little life. =)
I am praying that the Lord will bless your home very soon with Amos. My heart just breaks that he isn’t there yet. I know God’s timing is perfect but I wish he would let us help him out with that. lol
Praying for your beautiful family,
Kim
she does love her brothers!
Ever since I heard your adoption story and your longing to bring Amos home, I have been praying for you! I too pray that Amos will be home soon and in your arms. Until then, I am praying Amos knows that the arms of Jesus are around him and that he dwells close to the heart of Jesus. “In His arm He will gather the lambs, And carry them in His bosom” (Isaiah 40:11).
She is just the cutest thing! I love it 🙂
Oh how sweet!!She looks so happy!
