Stork Central Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 This past Sunday was Epiphany. It's a day when Christians celebrate the visit of the Magi, those wise men who, after meeting the baby who changed everything, went home by a different path than the one originally intended. And if you look up the definition of an "epiphany" in Wikipedia, here's what you get: "... epiphany is the result of significant work on the part of the discoverer, and is only the satisfying result of a long process. The surprising and fulfilling feeling of epiphany is so surprising because one cannot predict when one's labor will bear fruit, and our subconscious can play a significant part in delivering the solution; and is fulfilling because it is a reward for a long period of effort." Either way, it's an apt metaphor for this week, and especially for today's entrustment forever joining two families, for love of a child. For the placement today would never have happened but for the fact that the adopting couple, graduates of Abrazo's BGE&S orientation of April, 2012, had the wisdom to come to the process by way of one adoption plan, but be willing to go home by way of another. Theirs was a long process and the ending is truly rewarding because of their long period of effort. Yet the teen parents of their tiny new baby boy also had an epiphany, in which they found wisdom far beyond their age to make wise and discerning choices on behalf of the child they've borne. They came to this decision amidst great pressures, and they, too, will return home by another route than that which they may have originally thought, having found new significance along the way. We celebrate the amazing new road on which this new, extended family now find themselves. We wish them a bright, shining star to light their way and to illuminate their future relationship, as well. Blessings, all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
