The Adopted Heart Shaina Tranquilino November 25, 2024

Isabella had always been a curious child, with eyes the colour of stormy skies and a laugh that could burst through the quietest of rooms. She lived in a cozy house on Oak Street with her parents, Maria and Luis Alvarez, who always filled her world with stories, warmth, and the kind of joy that wraps around a heart and makes it beat a little stronger.

But one afternoon, when the sun lay lazily across the worn wooden floors and the scent of warm vanilla cookies drifted from the kitchen, Isabella’s world shifted. She found an old photo album tucked at the back of a dusty closet, its cover worn and its spine bent. The pages whispered stories she had never been told—pictures of a newborn wrapped in a blanket not yet frayed by time, cradled in the arms of strangers. Her breath caught, and she felt a strange, sharp ache in her chest.

When Maria walked in and saw the album open on Isabella's lap, a tender sadness passed over her face. She sat down beside her daughter, smoothing the pages with hands that had always known how to comfort.

“Isabella, mi amor,” Maria began, her voice low and steady. “There is something we should have shared with you long ago. You are adopted. Your father and I wanted you to know when the time was right, but maybe today is that day.”

The room seemed to shrink, its walls pressing close as questions rushed in—Why hadn’t they told her? Who were the people in the photos? Would her heart ever feel the same? But as she looked at Maria, with her kind eyes shimmering with worry, a glimmer of something else sparked within Isabella: the need to understand.

The following days were filled with stories that Maria and Luis wove late into the night. They told her of a stormy evening when a young couple had come to them, overwhelmed by circumstances that love alone could not mend. They spoke of the sleepless nights, not of uncertainty, but of hope as they prepared for a child they hadn’t expected but already adored.

“We loved you the moment we knew you were coming into our lives,” Luis said, his voice thick with emotion. “You were our heart, even before we met you.”

Isabella’s eyes, once sharp with confusion, softened as she listened. She began to see not just what they had given her—a home filled with laughter, the simple comfort of bedtime stories, countless moments made precious—but what they had chosen to sacrifice. They worked extra hours at the bakery, skipped vacations, and turned every celebration into a way to show her the depth of their love.

One evening, she stood in the kitchen, the same warm scent of vanilla filling the air. She watched Maria press dough into perfect circles, and without hesitation, Isabella walked over and slipped her arms around her mother’s waist.

“I get it now,” she whispered. Maria’s hands stilled, flour clinging to her fingers, and she turned with tears brimming in her eyes.

“You do?” she asked.

“Yes. I may not have known from the start, but I know now. You’re my family. You always were.”

The room felt different then—lighter, fuller. Isabella wasn’t the same as she was before, but neither was she lost. She had uncovered a truth she hadn’t expected, yet it made the love surrounding her all the more precious.

In the days that followed, Isabella flipped through the old photo album often, but now it felt like an introduction rather than a mystery. Each page told not just of where she had come from, but of who had caught her when she first arrived and never let her go. And for that, she was endlessly grateful, for she now knew that love, once given freely, was hers to carry forever.

"Behind every bottle of wine lies a story of love, sacrifice, and unseen struggles—let's honor those who made our dreams possible." #ATagBehindTheWine #Parenting #UnseenStruggles #LoveAndSacrifice #FamilyFirst #Gratitude #LifeLessons #WinemakingMetaphor

Hey everyone! Yesterday was a holiday in India, commemorating the birthdays of two great leaders, Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri Ji. With the day off, I decided to take some time for myself and watch a good movie. Afterward, I thought about making some wine with leftover grapes. However, the film left me so deeply disturbed that I struggled to think about anything else. This sparked a…

Made this for our pastor for Christmas. I used real rose quartz and quartz for the geode galaxy to show the heavenly treasures he’s been storing up from all the sacrifices he makes for our church and his faithfulness to God, His word and the real gospel. In many ways pastors are like doctors, but they save and tend to souls and in some cases lives too. At least in my case that’s a yes. The Lord is so good to us, that He made sure we lack in nothing. May His truth reach every corner, nook and cranny of this earth. And like our pastor, we too can start storing up riches in heaven! 👑⚱️💷🥰💖 ❂ ❂ Order your very own personalised painting from my Etsy shop! ❂ ❂ #christianart #artistsoninstagram #christiangifts #personalisedart #personalisedchristiangifts #acrylicpainting #acryliconcanvas #oceanpainting #galaxypainting #godspath #etsyseller #geodeart #instaart #creativechristian #artofinstagram #bibleart #scriptureart #bibleverse #cozyinchrist #paintingforjesus #paintingforsale #biblepainting #faithart #faithpainting #bioluminescentwaves #richesinheaven #loveandsacrifice #pastoralcare (at Macclesfield) https://www.instagram.com/p/CY4E30VoF_O/?utm_medium=tumblr

To Kim Teresa

Kakatuwa yung guidance. From usapang tattoo lng napunta s topic n same experience. Siguro it's about time na. 😊

Love na love ka ni God.

His doing something para mas marealize mo self worth mo. Tandaan mo you're special. Do you know why? Ask me why. 😊

Kasi Jesus died on the cross for you. So pahalagahan mo ang sarili mo. He sacrificed His life for us. For you kasi ganun ka kahalaga. Kaya wag mo hayaang itrato ka ng iba n wla halaga. Mahalaga ka. You deserve genuine love, happiness and attention. To deserve to feel back all the things that your giving away. Life is an echo sabi nga nila. So if feeling mo ngbbgay ka pero wlang bumabalik sau. Think deeper. Baka yung burning love within you na ang nawawala na. Saka if nagawa na nten 100% naten at wla pa rin. Baka hndi tau ung nktadhana magpabago s taong gusto nteng tulugan. We just need to accept that fact na baka hndi tayo. Baka ibang tao.😊

Realizations in life ko yan.

Aja aja.
