Published in April, 2019, this faith-based poem remains the most viewed post on Big Sky Buckeye. The theme of family and adoption hits close to home, and this poem honors a family very dear to my wife and I. Their story has been a true and rewarding journey of faith with our Lord.

God always manages an astonishing plan
He stretches His hands across the land
He spends six days building His creation
Then, He smiles at His brilliant sensation
Again and again, God shows He is in charge
His Holy presence looms, caring and large
His Book of Life satisfies with infinite pages
He sends His Son as a sacrifice, for the ages
When our Savior rises on Easter morn
God proving, His love will always adorn
A woman grows up, dreaming of more
She longs to be a wife with love to soar
She looks forward to being a mother
God would have it this way, no other
A devoted man with his son, will now deploy
Her sacred marriage brings to her much joy
She becomes a wife and mother in one day
Wow! God’s plan brings much delight today
Alas, something is missing in a life filled with peace
An unfilled yearning to bear a child, the final piece
Through much prayer, faithful words to offer
This couple places their trust with the Father
A young girl appears, needing a loving place
They become her foster parents, with haste
Over time, this girl discovers love, with such vastness
Her home permeates with love, without any sadness
But wait—the story carries on for a year
Now adoption lies ahead, without fear
Father, mother, son, and now a daughter
God’s love touches all, thicker than water
Praise God, our heavenly Father this day
Praise His miracles that astound and say
God always manages an astonishing plan
He stretches His hands across the land

such a hopeful endearing story … children can come in various ways if we keep our heart open!

This poem touched my heart. Our son and daughter-in-love adopted four children. Our grandchildren are now in their mid-to-late twenties and two of them have children of their own now. God does indeed give us the desires of our heart and then some!! ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
