Oh Happy Day!

What a day!!!  My mom arrived around midnight last night and we didn't get to bed until 4am!  At 9:30am, Kai woke up and got to see his mimi for the first time in months!  He was a happy boy.

Twenty stuffed animals knelt in prayer this evening.  Twenty bears hugged me goodnight.  And twenty bears are snuggled in next to twenty happy, sleeping children.  Do you think they liked their gifts?  Why don't you take a look and see what you think!  Today was a fun-filled day; from a brand new soccer ball (thanks Martha!), to watching Veggie Tales (thanks Lukers!), to coloring with brand new school supplies (you should have heard the "oohs" and "ahhs" when they received their very own eraser and ruler), to getting a new, snuggly friend.  I think this may well be one of the best days of their young lives:-)  God is so good to us!  We have seen God bless us through these children time after time.  God blesses the giver even more than the recipient.  We thank you all for your support in God's work.  May He shower blessings on you.

I would love to hear from you!  Which picture/post is your favorite so far?  Regale us with a recent tale of yours (a time that brought tears to your eyes, your best memory, a God moment, etc.)!
