Life With My Special K's

Then take action!!

Call for Prayer

As we celebrate Christmas this year, there are those that are greiving a loss.  One such family held a very special spot in my heart and I am very saddened by the news.  I occasionally follow some adoption stories from Reeces Rainbow and came across this family earlier this year.  THIS family IS an amazing inspiration.  Please take a moment to pray for the Loux family, they lost an amazing man this week.

Reeces Rainbow Angel Tree Project

I would ask that if your looking to make a donation to an organization who does a wonderful like helping give children LIFE, the I would suggest you take a look at the Reeces Rainbow Angel Tree Project. We gave last year and we will give again this year.

Click Here and just take a look at all the beautiful faces that are in need of a loving home. Oh me oh my, it melts my heart and there's no words.

Praying for Polly

One thing about having online support is finding wonderful people and falling in love with so many families from all over the world and following their blogs and their lifes ups and downs. I'm calling out for prayer for a little one, Polly, who was just diagnosed with MoyaMoya and will require brain surgery. MoyaMoya constricts blood flow in the brain. They discovered this when Polly had a series of seizures paired with a stroke and paralysis of one leg.

Polly's family had three beautiful girls and very recently added another beautiful girl from the Ukraine to their family through adoption. They are just now adjusting to becoming a family of six and now will be facing some medical issues with Polly. If you could find it in your heart to pray for this family I would really appreciate it.

Down Syndrome Adoption Awareness Poem

I read this from a blog I follow and it really made me think. So here it is for your thoughts:

WHILE WE WERE....In Memory

While we were eating...
... they were hungry

While we were playing...
... they were restrained

While we were tucking our kids into bed...
... they were alone

While we turned up the heat...
... they laid in the icy cold

While we wrapped our children in blanket sleepers...
... they laid in their own excrement

While we sang songs and listened to music...
... they listened to the screams and cries of those around them

While we rocked our babies...
... they silently rocked themselves

While we hugged our kids...
... they scratched at their own faces and pulled their own hair for stimulation

While we cried over scraped knees...
... they moaned in their loneliness

While we brushed our daughters' beautiful hair...
... they had their heads shaven to stave off the lice

While we fought off the flu with love and nourishment...
... they got the flu and went Home.

No longer suffering... but so many more still are.

In memory of those that have never felt the love of a family, but have passed away alone. Today we learned of the passing of these two girls in Eastern Europe.
