I read this post this morning and knew right away I had to share it. It's found at one of my favorite blogs, http://weloveourlucy.blogspot.com/. Please read this and share it if possible. Every child should have a family of their own, and that just might be you.
They Need Us NOW More Than EVER....
I want to tell yall a little story....When my little sister arrived home on Saturday from Ethiopia...she came straight to Hal's bday party at the park and PULLED OUT HER LAP TOP to show us all the pics from her trip...I got to see NEW pics of my sweet Wes...I saw pics of my new Nephew...BUT..it was the pics of this SWEET sibling group that broke my heart:
This sweet set of girls are thought to be about 11 and 7!! They have an incredible story of survival and THEIR ONLY WISH is to find a family!! My older sister met them in July...and they were waiting...I met them in December..and they still waited...NOW our younger sister meets them in March..and they STILL WAIT!! This time though, I guess the waiting got to them...cause as my sister entered the gate for her new son...the older sister of this pair BROKE OUT CRYING!! Crying a REAL cry that would break any parent's heart!! Why was she crying so hard?? Because ONCE AGAIN, NO ONE was coming FOR HER and HER SISTER!! The entire travel group ran to her side to console her, offering her suckers and such to make her feel better. All their hearts were breaking for her...YET she was OVER the suckers and candy...SHE WANTED A FAMILY...SHE WANTED IT TO BE HER TURN!! SHE WANTS PARENTS TO WALK THROUGH THAT GATE EXCITED TO MEET HER!!! As I heard this story, I KNEW God has me here for a reason...AND it's to ADVOCATE for these children that wait!! They are healthy, happy and well behaved children!! 3 out of 4 of my sisters have met them now!! TOGETHER...lets find their mom and dad!! Lets find those parents that are LOOKING for these two!! THEY DESPERATELY WANT THIS!! AND, i know we can make a difference!! Please pass this, share this, pray for these two to find a family. I want them to receive a care package..and pictures..and such to show off!! They've waited long enough!! I have so many pics of these girls!! They were so sweet and kind! Lets replace those tears with SMILES!! I know we can do it!!!! And, with all the Ethiopian changes POSSIBLY taking place..THEY NEED US NOW MORE THAN EVER TO ADVOCATE FOR THEM!!! Email ME at Kristi@ordinaryhero.org to view more pics and read about these girls.
