Minus One

We brought the kitten home last night as "foster parents" to see if it would work out with our other cat. By this morning, everyone was thoroughly attached:
This is how Scott spent all last night.

This is how Caleb spent this morning.

But it was not meant to be. We got a call from the pet store this afternoon, and this kitty actually belonged to another family, which had returned him because he was sick and was waiting for him to convalesce and return home.

We have some sad kids tonight.

We're so sorry about this. Cassie brought the bad news over here from Nikki, saying Caleb was still napping and didn't even know yet. I'm sorry - that must've been hard.

Tonight I overheard little pieces of a phone conversation (?) you were having with someone about adoption and it reminded me of the verse that says "with the comfort we have received from Christ we are able to comfort others." Blessings as you serve others from the experiences you have had along the adoption journey.

Yeah, Caleb took it hard, too. It was sad.

A friend of mine from high school remembered that I had mentioned adoption at our reunion, and is beginning to pursue it herself. She and her husband were overwhelmed and didn't know where to start. The deck was the only quiet place to talk. ;)

Thanks for the verse. He's provided MUCH comfort, so I have plenty to share. :)
