Good news! I found a camera or two at the Walmarts that I like. Can you imagine the entertainment value of my blog if I were to actually include photos - CURRENT ones, even?
Belle is still asleep. The morning after gymnastics class is always difficult for her. She has moved up into the "pre-team" class, and they really do work those kids. I say work 'em 75 bucks worth. Like the Bible says, "No pain, no gain."
On a rare serious note, a friend of mine is having heart surgery this morning. Surprise heart surgery. Life is precious, and most things in it aren't that important. Remember to focus on taking care of those things and people who ARE. Now, if I can just take my own advice...
Have a great Tuesday.

Tomas turned 4 in November 2009, which means that he will be institutionalized if he is not adopted very soon. Please pray that a family will choose him to love forever and that someone will make him feel loved today.

The Creed of Babies
with Down syndrome
My face may be different
But my feelings the same
I laugh and I cry
And I take pride in my gains
I was sent here among you
To teach you to love
As God in the heavens
Looks down from above
To Him I'm no different
His love knows no bounds
It's those here among you
In cities and towns
That judge me by standards
That man has imparted
But this family I've chosen
Will help me get started
For I'm one of the children
So special and few
That came here to learn
The same lessons as you
That love is acceptance
It must come from the heart
We all have the same purpose
Though not the same start
The Lord gave me life
To live and embrace
And I'll do it as you do
But at my own pace

God's heart...
"He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well. Is that not what it means to know me, declares the Lord."
Jeremiah 22:16
"Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act."
Proverbs 24:12

"Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act."

Grab that yellow button!!
There are children all over the world in need of a family, love, and basic care. Many of these children have disabilities and are placed in mental institutions at the age of 4 or 5. In these places the children rarely live past the age of 10 and most die within the first year. Will you help to spread the word to raise funds and families for orphans with disabilities? Please visit Reece's Rainbow and see how your donation- however large or small- can help a child find a family. Look a little harder and you just might find the calling for one of them to be your own. If finances aren't a way you can help, please look across their photos and say a prayer that each one will find their forever family soon. Reece's Rainbow is an International Down Syndrome Orphan Ministry which also advocates for orphans with other disabilites across the globe. Please "grab this button" and post it with a message to your own readers as well. It starts with ONE but then grows exponentially. You never know! Your own post may be one that finds a family for one of these precious children.
