Not my normal post

The fabulous season is upon us as it comes every year, but this year is different for me. This year has different meaning because there have been babies that I have been learning about and looking at daily at Reeces Rainbows. These babies and toddlers and kids, never leave my heart or my mind. The scripture at the top of the website says it all

Once our eyes are opened, we can’t pretend we don’t know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and knows our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act.

I can't explain why I can't seem to get them out of my mind...there are other horrible situations happening right here in our country and there are horrible things happening in Africa to children or Haiti to entire families or well you get my drift. But these babies don't ever go away. The little pictures that I see on this website are faces I pray about throughout the day and find myself wondering if anyone ever holds them or hugged them. When they are sick, does anyone ever help make them feel better? When I snuggled with my little girls tonight, I immediately thought of those kids that tonight are sleeping alone with no one to call their mom. And the ones that didn't get to have lots of fun with family this week. Ugh...too hard. I find myself wondering what their lives must be like and how utterly horrible it must be to not have a family (sometimes ever). I just can't and don't want to imagine it. And although there will come a time when we can actually do something about it, right now I feel so helpless. Then I read this beautiful, yet incredibly sad, blog Daily Smiles. I want you to go read it, watch the video, and act.

Yep, that's right, I want  you to act. No one is saying you have to adopt a child but help these kids have some sort of a chance, they deserve it. Its just $5. This is the same site that I was talking about earlier this month. This is our families choice for our "donation" this year. We are still deciding on whether to give to a local family adopting or to one of our favorite angels on the Christmas Tree. But I just can't let us be the only ones helping.

What makes these faces any different than my kids? Nothing, just where they were born. Please help them out. You can do this by donating either on her site at Daily Smiles or you can go to Reeces Rainbows and donate to any child that touches your heart.
