Episode 33: Finding Gratitude in Unusual (and Sometimes Hard) Places

from Adoptive Mom Life | Open Adoption, Adoptive Parenting, Birth Family, Christian Community, Biblical Encouragement · host Heartgrown Mama

On this (sometimes teary-eyed – sorry!) episode, we’re talking about finding beauty from ashes. Sometimes we face difficult things. Sometimes it’s a minor health setback or car troubles. Sometimes it’s a failed adoption match or another negative pregnancy test. And other times, it’s losing someone you love. These setbacks and heartbreaks are inevitable in life on this side of heaven. But we can still find gratitude, even in the hard seasons.  I want to encourage you to see things through a different lens this week.   Friends, I hope this helps you find perspective during a season of waiting for your adopted child to come. If you’re raising Heartgrown littles, I hope this lifts you up during a time when parenting and life feels heavy.   Praying for you and rooting for you as you journey through your season.   Email Me: [email protected] Check out the blog: heartgrownmama.com Find our community on Facebook: Heartgrown Mama Check out our digital adoption journal: https://heartgrownmama.com/waiting-well-journal/
