This is one of mine and John's favorites, simply because it is so very well done. It breaks our hearts to know that there are so very many children who need to be a part of a loving family. We would love to bring them all home ourselves and know that is so obviously not possible. We continue to pray that God in His endless wisdom will bring each child into our home that He has so perfectly chosen to be a part of our family. And we continue to pray for you and wonderful loving families like yours who are waiting to love some of His precious children who have no one to love them, no one to hold them, no one to care for them. We pray that God will bring Myles home to you very soon. We pray that He will bring home each of the children that He has already chosen for families who are waiting. We pray that He will rise up more and more families who will love these children that He loves so very much!
