new babies at the starfish house
This morning, Amanda de Lange and a handful of volunteers, went to what we call the “Big O” in Xi’An China (otherwise known as the main orphanage) to see if there were any babies she could take back to her foster home. You see, Amanda doesn’t go looking for the cutest, healthiest babies they have. She goes with eyes and heart open to find the sickest, neediest babies in the orphanage. The babies who are not likely to receive the kind of necessary attention they need just to survive their first few months. Out of all of China’s unwanted ones, she seeks out those who need her the most. That’s why I love this picture so much. This morning, these babies were just seven of many at the orphanage, but not anymore. From here on out these babies will receive round the clock love and attention, nutrition, medical care and almost rock-star like status among Amanda’s fans and supporters all around the world. Once they have been nursed back to health, Amanda does what the orphanage often does...
Yea Linda! Go girl club member! Go to the counselor and don't listen to what your husband thinks about you being nuts. My husband wondered about the sensibility of it and now for Valentine's Day he bought me an Archaeology magazine (I know but he did get me roses). I love it! Anyway, you can do it.
ReplyDeleteBy the way scroll down a couple of more pages and see pics of my daughter and her new husband married in SL Temple. Then a page before, I think, and you'll see going through the Washington D. C. temple. We went through with them for her first time before she was married. It was so fun. I must read your blog entry for today but have to run to Achievement Day. I'm a leader.
At first, we were watching the video without sound. It was pretty cute! Then....Rachel turned the sound on. It was....pretty loud! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, I loved achievement day's. I'm still alittle bitter about being released! Beautiful pictures of your daughter! Isn't it nice when their married, I always breathed a sigh of relief . Sure you still worry about them but, its not the same. want to exchange e-mail adds.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lot of fun!! I have a grandson named Connor and he and his big brother love the trampouline too. You know, we can see Mt Washington from here, and on a good day we can see Mt Ranier.
ReplyDeleteLinda, thanks so much for leaving a comment. I appreciate it so much. Yes, I think that was a great idea to give the little boy a notebook. I think it's all about the square peg fitting into the round hole. We try to get people to worship like everyone else but they think differently. It's finding what works, sometimes, to make the church environment fit for everyone. What if everyone were the same? It would be so boring. Don't think it would take a miracle to learn how to do art. Try my ideas and you'll see you have more talent than you think.
