Fabulous Faith's 4th Birthday!

Our beautiful, sweet, intelligent, witty, funny, sunny Faith turned 4 years old! It was just yesterday that she was an infant and I could hold her all day long. Oh, my, how time flies!

Faith received three days of birthday gifts, so it was really more like a birthday weekend. Faith is a girl who knows what she wants. She decided last summer that when her birthday came she wanted a Bolt birthday cake. There was one store on the island that had the Bolt birthday cake plastic toy toppers. I was so thrilled when we found them, and Faith was so delighted to see them on her cake. She now keeps them in a special place. She does not play with them, but treats them as special mementos.

Faith had a wonderful birthday! We are so blessed to be Faith's family. Happy Birthday beautiful Faith! :)

Skylar's Question

Skylar and I were having a conversation. You know, Mommy and son solving the world's problems. When Skylar asked; "Mommy, as I grow big will you grow little?" I tried to explain to him that as he grows bigger, and older that Mommy and Daddy will not get small, but just older. (We may get shorter, but I think that would have just confused the issue.)

Then he said the most beautiful thing. Skylar said; "Don't worry Mommy, I'll take care of you if you get too old."

What a precious, sweet soul my wonderful son has. I am such a blessed Mommy. :)

The Call

Every call has a beginning.

A quiet moment when GOD whispers a promise

to a mother’s heart.

A holy place where a father bows and faithfully accepts the journey set before him.

A miraculous morning that unexpectedly dawns, casting its first light on a chosen threshold.

A gentle knock, a closed door opens.

A sacred invitation sent by GOD, leads to the other side of the world.

Where lonely hearts stare out orphanage windows,
praying for someone to care.

And then one morning, on an ordinary day,

an orphan’s life changes.

GOD sends them a second chance, through you. . .

KISSES IN THE WIND

The Waiting Child's Lullabye

I hold you in my heart

and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me,

at least that's how it seems.

I know you wonder where we are . . .

what's taking us so long?

But remember child,

I love you so and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze

and let it touch your skin . . .
Because tonight, just as always,

I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling,

I'm doing all that I can do.

Very soon, you'll have a family for real,

not just pretend.
But for tonight, just as always,

I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God wrap you in His arms

and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses
