Doesn't get any easier

One would think that after being home 

from our last trip to Ethiopia over 6 months ago,

and our first trip to China almost 5 years ago,

our last trip to China 3 years ago,

that I would be able to get over 

"it".

You'd think I'd be able to lay down at night

without crying myself to sleep.

You'd think that as I feed 

my babies breakfast before school,

that I wouldn't have tears roll down my face.

 

I am thankful that my babies are home,

thankful that God choose to bless us 

with these silly, silly kiddos.

Thankful that I get to tuck them into bed every night.

Thankful that I get to greet them with hugs

every morning.

You'd think it would get easier,

but when I look into the eyes of 

my babies 

I am constantly reminded of the babies 

who don't have any one to 

teach them right from wrong,

no dinner table to sit at,

no one who cares if their feelings are hurt,

no one to love them.

~~~

It doesn't get any easier,

and,

thank God it doesn't.
