Today we attended the Bethany Christian Services Annual Family Picnic at Pear Orchard Presbyterian Church in Jackson. It was our first Bethany event as a new family with Naomi. We really enjoyed meeting all the adoptive families. There were several adorable Chinese girls happily playing. We already knew Ron, Adele, and Mallory Smith, but by the end of the event we'd made so many new friends, some I'd already met online through the Yahoo groups. It is amazing to see and feel the bond between the families and know that God networked us all together to enourage and support one another.
The threatening weather kept many families away. We just loaded up the Blazer and hoped for the best. According the the report from the National Weather Service, a severe thunderstorm moved across Jackson just minutes before we drove through. We experienced only minimal rain driving and once we arrived, the sun came out and made for a beautiful day. God is good!
