What does this mean to your family....?

Simple words, yet this is a call to action for all of us. I pray that it will stir your heart, your hands, and your feet to serve with love and compassion, as Jesus served us.

Matthew 25:37-40 "Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' The King replied, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'"

Leo

Yes of course we are sending a soccer ball for Leo...

Lydia's Doll

I found the cutest baby doll for Lydia today. I have restrained myself from buying her anything in the past. I gave in today. I wanted my little girl growing up in Liberia to have her own baby doll to hold and play with. Here is a picture. Musu has agreed to carry it back with her and deliver it.
Musu will be leaving in a week. My heart is breaking. I have to come to love her so much! She is part of our family now and forever.

Update on adoptions in Liberia

We haven't had much to say in the way of updates lately. We are still firmly committed to caring for Lydia and Leo. If that involves bringing them home to America that would be wonderful. If it does not then, hey God knows best! We are still going to support them as best we can.
There has been movement on the adoption issue in Liberia. In the last two days there was a symposium on the rights of the child hosted at the Executive Mansion in Liberia. A lot of work went into this event. We are hoping and praying that good will come of this and that the children of Liberia will gain the right to be cared for by adoptive parents.
Here is an article about the symposium.
I will post more soon I promise.

The government of Liberia has also said that they will begin processing adoptions that had court decrees before the moratorium began. They have not begun action on this yet. Please pray that this will take place soon. This is a battle. It will be won with much prayer. God's purposes ALWAYS prevail!
