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."

We skyped with Joy!!!

How cool is that? Part of the Taiwan court's requirement is skype time with your child! The camera in Taiwan was awful so we really only saw sillohuetes but they could see us perfectly. Joy has been practicing her English and told us in English all the things she loves (pizza, cookies, hot dogs, chocolate, ice cream, puppies, running, yellow, cookies) lol. She then showed us how quickly she can put together a rubic's cube! ok, I have never put one together! lol But now Min wants one so she can practice (hmmm, I see a little competitiveness starting).

The SW who did all the interpreting told us that Joy will have to testify in court on Friday about our skype session. I asked Joy if she was nervous and she said "No, I want to be adopted!" Praise the Lord!!!!

I told her I loved her and in a very soft little voice I heard "I love you"! WOW!
