It feels like we just celebrated Bethany's third birthday not too long ago, but now here we are celebrating her fourth. We passed out small treats to her sunday school class, and didn't get back home from church until the afternoon. Since we'll be having a party for her later on in the month, we opted to have a small family celebration with Korean food and cake to commemorate Bethany's special day. What about our traditional myuk gook you ask? Grandma already came by a few days ago to make myuk gook, and Bethany devoured it like a good Korean. :)
Happy birthday to my little girl who is a daily reminder to me that
our God is faithful,
hope does not disappoint,
every child deserves a family,
love can cross over continents,
and blood lines do not a family make.
I often think about and pray for Bethany's birth parents, but particularly on this special day. I will always be grateful to her birth mother for having the courage to see her pregnancy through to the end, and for leaving Bethany in the care of those who would eventually find her a family. Our family.
Bethany's birth mother chose life, and today we thank God for that precious life.
Happy birthday Bethany!
We love you so much.
After waiting patiently all day, she was so happy to finally have some cake.
