Over the Moon

The time is getting closer to bringing Jesse home. Our kiddos are over the moon excited!  The kids continue to amaze me with their love and participation in this adoption.  What is equally amazing are the friends and families we have met through this short journey who have touched our lives in incredible ways.  From the support of our family and friends at church, to our far away friends God has placed along our paths as He has moved us from city to city, to Facebook only friends and recent friends.

We had a neat opportunity to speak at a friend's church on Orphan Care Sunday and share our (almost completed) adoption story.  What a blessing to be loved and raised up by a body of believers who are so committed to caring for the orphans.  We have been touched by their prayers, generosity, and support.  

A sweet fellow adoptive friend purchased t-shirts, from our Adoption Bug site, for her entire family to wear on Orphan Care Sunday.  How precious is this orphan loving family!

A 1st and 2nd grade Sunday School teach at our church wanted the kids to do a service project and offered to have them collect items for us take to Jesse's orphanage. Although we will not be able to visit his orphanage, we are honored to share with the orphanage director some necessities they are not able to purchase in China.

We have many things to praise our Lord and Saviour for this month of Thanksgiving, as evidenced by the above.  But, most of all we are are thankful for the love and grace that He extends to us, His adopted children, and the reassurance that we are redeemed through Him!
