The weight in my arms is just the outward manifestation of the weight in my heart. I unbuckled her from the carseat and she became mine to love and care for. Maybe not forever, but day in and day out for as long as she will need. And with her came the weight of her past and her unknowns. Lord, grant me the grace to carry those burdens with her and treat them and her with the loving respect they deserve. Grant me the joy to delight in who You have created her to be as I learn to love in a new way.
