I have a quote for this week:

Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them.

Inquired

We have inquired about several “punkins” over the last few weeks. We have heard back on 4 of them. Yeah! We are praying heavily about them all but, there is one inparticular that we are really feeling led to. The only info that we are going to give up to our friends and family is that it is a sibling group.
We inquire on several children every week and when you are a person who wears her heart on her sleeve, you learn early on that you can’t get excited. BUT, Larry and I have both thrown that rule right out the window with these 2. They would be such a perfect fit for our little family.
Where ever our future children are, we pray that they are safe and happy until we can wrap our arms around them.

Pure and Simple

My youngest son asked me yesterday when we were going to get him some more family. ((meaning siblings)) I told him that I didn’t know and that it takes a while to find the right ones for our family. Not quite understanding why this was, he continued to state how “we were a nice family and he would share his toys and how we would love them and squeeze their little cheekers.” I tried to explain that even though that was all true, it still took a while because there were lots of other families that were also looking for little punkins to add the there family. It never ceases to amaze me how a child’s view is so pure and straight forward.
If only life was that simple!
If we could all just stay that pure and simple, there probably wouldn’t be children out there in need.
