Sure have been thinking a lot about and missing our kids lately. How its possible to miss someone so much who you have never met, I don't know, but I do. Its only been two and a half months since we found out about them, but it has been years we have been praying for them. This week we have been praying even more as there is flooding in Thailand right now, specifically in and around the province where they live. Flooding is a pretty common thing there, but so very sad. Two years ago when it flooded over 800 people lost their lives. Over 30 have already died in this flood. I take great comfort in knowing that God sees them and knows them and loves them even more than I do.
On a happier note, I had a birthday last week and my dear husband gave me this....
I have been eyeing this necklace for awhile and am so enjoying having it to wear!
Tonight, perhaps because of my missing Thailand and our kids mood and perhaps just because I love Thai food, we made Pad Thai.
This is one of the most common Thai dishes, its considered street food in Thailand and you can buy it at a stand on the side of the road for 20 or 30 baht, less than a dollar, and its yummy!
Oh, and we made "cha yen" as well, or cold Thai tea, another of our favorites!
If you haven't tried Thai food, you are missing out!!
I understand those feelings of longing and missing. May God comfort your hearts as you wait. Enjoy those comfort foods that also connect you with your children.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be praying your kiddos stay safe during the flooding. Pad Thai is one of Ryan's favorite foods
