Children of the World

Today I had the wonderful opportunity to see the "Children of the World" International Children's Choir, sponsored by World Hope. These exciting, dynamic and energetic children from Uganda, Philippines, and Nepal have been soicially and economically deprived. Some have lost their parents to disease, polluted wter, tribal warfare, even AIDS. Some of their parents simply could not afford to take care of them. But despite theier tragic circumstances, they have the love of God in their hearts. They are children of hope because someone reached out to them and rescued them. They have been sponsored by people in America and now have good food, clothing, shelter and are receiving an education. They are learning everyday about God's great mercy and grace. And they have a wonderful message to bring in song! Go to www.worldhelp.net and find out where they will be performing next. You won't want to miss it. All through their worship performance, I had to wipe the tears from my eyes. I kept thinking to myself, they could be my children! My boys had been abandoned but were rescued and brought to an orphanage. The God allowed us to bring them to their forever home in America.

Please take a look and think of sponsoring a child or in the least, allow the Lord to bless and touch your heart for the children of the world. So many can live if they only had clean water. $15 can supply water to one person for a very long time!
The blessing will be yours

Well folks, while 1oo,000,000,000 people in America are experiencing blizzard conditions across the East, effectivly paralyzing all of the East's major cities, we are snuggled closely in a warm home. Our children have not attended school for over a week (mostly due to black ice). Tomorrow we have a two hour delay. So many are without power in their homes. We only lost power for 16 hours last Friday evening. But we're used to that stuff. We're amazed at the figures - Philadelphia has more snow in these two past storms than the past two years combined. Whitte out conditions make the White House nearly invisible. No one knows where to put all of the snow. In Maine every town designated an area to transport snow. All these folk need to do is push it into the Patomac or the East River.

Look at the photos of our children's snowman creations. They even made one snowman lying down. We sent copies to our local news station but haven't seen anything yet.

Job creation still remains a big issue not only for our country but for our family. Please pray that God will provide what we really need. I don't recall if I mentioned that Holly is planning to return to school to gain skills as a CNA.

How about that stimulus money! Have you seen any of it yet? I heard one alarming report' because of the stimulus, every family in America will be 100,000 in debt.

Hope to hear from some of you.
