Brittany-I have this exact same quote on my blog right now! I put it up a couple days ago after I saw it on a Starbucks cup. I think it speaks so much truth. Beautiful.
Tami -I actually photocopied that same quote years ago and have it filed away will all the documents of my children’s adoptions. I hope that this is how they always see themselves. Thanks for sharing it!
Kimberlee J.-Email this to TJ. She will love this as much as I do.
se7en-Thank-you. We probably all need to here this everyday for one reason or another… In a world full of so much pain we sometimes just forget how special we are.
Vicki-Today I got news that the baby I am busy making in my lovingly large belly may not be what we were expecting. Our baby may have Down Syndrome…more testing is needed to get an exact answer. Today I needed to hear those words. That no matter what, we are who we are supposed to be because we are not our own but His…that includes my unborn baby. Whatever this baby is, it is for a purpose. Thanks, I need to hear that today.
tara pollard pakosta -LOVE IT!
Tracy-I love it – Pastor Rick was our home church pastor for so many years in our early marriage and then we moved an hour away. We still visit Saddleback when we’re visiting my parents for the weekend – and he refers to this SO often in his sermons.
So filled with hope, promise and PASSION for people. Amen!!

Suzanne -This took my breath away! I will refer to this throughout the day I am sure. Thanks!
Suzette -WOW! Amen! I am adopted and I have never felt like an accident but this just reinforces my feeling of being special!
Libby-What a wonderful reminder as we start out the week. Thank you.
Meredith Salmon -That is a beautiful quote and with all the teens and young adult (mostly) thinking they don’t belong, they have just not realized their purpose and potential. I am sad for all of those that do not and will not have a chance to know their destiny or God. Thank you for this today. I really needed it.
Jen -Awesome!
elma riedstra -Amen!! Wonderful post!!!
Heather-such a perfect reminder. focusing our ourselves never brings about the answers and love we’re after.
Cari -Amen.
I got pregnant at 18 — with twins. Even the good, Christian girl can end up pregnant before marriage. I always struggled with the “why me” (even 10 years later), but this is so true. It’s not about me and my girls are not an accident. They were created by him and for him. Thank you for sharing this today. Just wanted I needed.
jeana-Love this, so much. Great truth this morning!
Laura Phelps-THIS was the talk at mass yesterday.
If we search for meaning within ourselves, we will always feel empty.
Our meaning is in God.
And we need to PRAY.
To say close to Him.
a perfect Monday morning post…

Flower Patch Farmgirl-Truth and a pretty flower on a Monday morning. Warmed me right up!
Kate-Thank you. This was such a blessing to me today.
Sugar Mama-I was NOT expecting this on your blog this morning. I wish I could have prepared myself emotionally for this because now I’m sitting here with tears running down my face and my daycare kids staring at me like I’ve finally lost it.
What an amazing quote. This hits me at such a personal level…. I have no words to explain it.
Thank you for sharing!
Deanna-Thank you so much for posting this! I saw this somewhere awhile back and could not remember where! I looked everywhere for it and now you posted it! It is sooo true! Thanks and have a great day!
Tracy-Wow – such true words and I love the part about not being an accident – that is something I think kids should hear instead of being told they were an accident. That would go a lot further, I think. Thanks for sharing and have a great day! :o) xoxoxo
sarah -Love it. And probably just what I needed to hear/read/see as I drag myself toward my next birthday feeling down in the dumps…
