Heavenly Father's Plan for Our Family

Monday night is family night at our house. Well, really every night is, but Monday is intentional and dedicated. We have a spiritual lesson and an activity before bed. This past Monday our lesson was on Heavenly Father's plan. We read a story about a little girl who's dog was sick and she was praying that he wouldn't pass away. She realized after a while that it may be better for her dog if he did pass away so that he wouldn't have to suffer any more. So then she prayed that he wouldn't be in pain and that Heavenly Father's plan would work out. We then talked about the atonement and Christ praying and asking Heavenly Father to make it so he wouldn't have to do it but that he was willing to do what needed to be done for Heavenly Father's plan to work out. And then I told Abby about how when we got married we wanted to have kids, and we prayed and asked Heavenly Father to make our bodies function right so that I'd get pregnant and have a baby, the way most people bring children into their families. But after a while we prayed that we would be blessed with children in what ever way worked with Heavenly Father's plan. And because of that he blessed us with Abby, that we were able to adopt her, and that was so much better than any plan we had thought of - that Heavenly Father's plan was the best plan because that was how we got her. Her response: "Yes" or "I know" or something like that. Love her confidence! Love her!‪#‎iwillfollowgodsplanforme‬ ‪#‎iloveadoption‬ ‪#‎adoptionrocks‬ ‪#‎hopingtoadopt‬‪#‎choosingadoption‬ ‪#‎adoption‬
