The Starfish

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?” The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.” “Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!” After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said ” I made a difference for that one.”
Proverbs 24:12 "Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know and holds us responsible to act."

Ready to Launch!

Today is Launch day for our blog! With the help of friends and family, we begin Blogging for Joy!
We heard from our agency this week and were told we are in the final stages of our paperwork (dossier) for Joy! Thank you God!
After three adoptions, this will be the first where we needed to fundraise. We are soooo close but still need the funds for the I-800, fingerprinting, and the rest of the agency fees. Please join us on our journey. We will be selling items, raffles, hosting auctions, etc. in an effort to bring home Joy. Most of all, we ask for your prayers!
