Adoption Lessons: To Sum it Up:


“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”                    

---C.S. Lewis


"If you want to be great in God's kingdom, 

learn to be the servant of all."  

--Jesus

Great post! I love C.S. Lewis, and this is the first time I've found him quoted in the context of adoption, but it fits perfectly!
