PTL, 5 MORE KIDS GET FORVER FAMILIES.

I wanted to add another blog that I follow and at the same time congratulate two of my friends. The first couple are the parent of 3 biological sons. Recently they saw pictures of their daughter, Hannah Grace. She is a beauty. Hop over to his blog to see her. Their blog is located at http://www.amorrisfamilyjournal.blogspot.com. They are selling t-shirts to travel in the next few weeks to pick up Hannah Grace from Asia. Sometime this year they will be adopting from the same country our ministry is building the sight for the Freedom Center. Legally they cannot share her name or her face until the adoption is final. So for now, I ask you pray for Mom and Dad, Charity and Andy, their three son, Heath, Noah, Elijah, little Hannah grace who will be home soon and E-baby who will be home a little later. Go to their blog and buy a shirt. They are cool and will help two little girls find their way to their forever families. Make sure you take a minute to go see sweet little Hannah' face and but a shirt. It will be so helpful.

I can say much letter about the other family, as they do not have a blog and they are not allowed to day much. I do not my friend and his wife are adopting a sibling set of 3. Great ages and the coolest names. Pray for these families.

The first family will be in my blog roll. Our Family journal is where you can find it.

BEAUTY IN UNEXPECTED PLACES

I love this kind of weather. The high was 80, the low will be upper 50's. Love it. Often for a week or so when everything begins to bloom and turn green I put my camera in my car and keep it there because you never know when you will find that perfect shot. Today I found it. I think I may be the only one in the world that thinks it is beautiful. It is an old, abandoned, southern, house. In it I saw the beauty of lives lived in that houses, the songs that were once sung, the joy that poured out of every window, the secrets those walls will always keep. This house has a beauty.

When I went to Africa and saw the slums and the

lack of sanitation and the filth on each child's clothing I did not expect to find beauty. But I looked around and I found a school that we would not see as beautiful but I did because it m

eant children were being educated. And I found children who reflected the beauty of their Savior despite the circumstances. I found

beauty where I last thought I would find it. It was Beauty is an unexpected place. This school is not beautiful in its construction but it is SO beautiful because children are being educated there, children with out

hope unless they are educated? Does the Galilee School of Nairobi look a little more beautiful now that you look at it. Beauty in Unexpected places, just like you will see in the children in another photograph below. They were dirty and the smelled and they touched my hair all the time and they sang off tune and they were beautiful, not as the world may see it but as the rest of saved by grace sees it. Beauty in the midst of the hardest life I have seen, or maybe beauty because of it. Maybe it is the beauty that comes with hope, the beauty that comes with expectations of a better tomorrow. Remember soon, we will have a chance to make that expectation come true.
