Is it Time?

A child sat on Jesus' lap in the splendor of Heaven.

The child asked, "Is it time?"

Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said,"No, not yet child."

The child asked "When will it be time?"

Jesus replied, "When lessons are learned,hardships endured, and loneliness lived,then it will be time."

Time passed.The child asked, "Is it time?"

Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said,"No, not yet child."

The child asked, "When will it be time?"

Jesus replied, "When maturity is reached,self-worth affirmed and spirits strengthened, then it will be time."

Time passed.The child asked, "Is it time?"

Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said,"Their love is strong and their hearts are open.Yes, now it is time-Your parents are ready."~author unknown

This just touches my heart tonight. I have been amazed at what all I have learned since this process started over 2 years ago. I am in total shock that I am at the point that I am at. If you had told me then that I would be this calm & at peace I would have laughed in your face. But God is holding us so tightly right now, it's hard to be anything but peaceful. Don't get me wrong, I have definately had my days of selfish anguish & many other feelings left to be said. But right now I know deep down that God is making us wait for OUR perfect child. Even though I don't want to wait a lot longer, I wouldn't have it any other way. I would rather wait for what He has in store for us, than to be matched today with a child that was meant for some other family. So, I will just wait & ask ....."Is it time?" -Charity
