CHRISTMAS VIDEO

I saw this video a few years ago.  It touched me and brought tears to my eyes.  It was the first time that I seriously thought about adoption as an option for our family.  Now that we are on the other side of the adoption, it holds even greater significance for me.  I wonder what our kids were thinking about last Christmas.  I think that while we were praying for God's leading in our lives, they were praying for a family.  Pretty neat how that has all worked out, huh?

I love this video because it reminds us that there are many older children that need families. There are 50 million orphans in the world - minus three!!... I also love it because the words are meaningful.  I hope you have the time to watch it.

We just experienced our first Christmas with our three newly adopted children.  This video still brings tears to my eyes, but as I watch it, the reality of our adoption makes me so happy that we answered the call.  Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!!  We did!  I'll be posting more soon!
