It's almost over

The year is almost at it's end...and the new year is right around the corner.  It's a clean slate again -- and I wonder what will happen this year.  We are in an age group where our friends are entering nursing homes or getting Alzheimers, or even dying, and I wonder who of us will still be able to celebrate New Year's Day 2014.  I don't mean to sound morbid, but it's part of life.

One of the blogs that I like to read is this one:  http://theresnoplacelikehome-family.blogspot.com/.  This is a family that already has adopted eight (Yes, 8!) children from China, and in January they are traveling back to China to adopt three more girls.  They do this because they love Jesus and they love children.  It is an amazing family. 

Another blog I follow is http://www.abeautifulroad.com/.  I have lost count of how many Chinese orphans have been adopted by this family, all of them have special needs like severe heart problems, blindness, one girl has no arms, etc.; the parents are adopting these children because they love Jesus and they love children.  They too are an amazing family.

If you want to be blessed, read these two blogs.
