Some Thoughts from my Heart

This Poem is based on Ephesians the first chapter.  I thought about us all being adopted by God our Father and this poem to our boys in Haiti came out.

Ephesians 1: 5  "....he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,...."




We Are All Adopted


You may not have my eyes, my son,
     you may not look like me.
And gazing in the mirror,
     my genes you can not see.

But you will have my name, my son,
     and you will have my heart.
You will know I love you because
     God's love I will impart.

For I was once adopted, too
    God took me as HIS own.
HE washed away my sins, and
     no more was I alone.

It won't be too much longer,
    I think that you will see,
My name, my heart, and with GOD's love
    a family we will be.


Love,   your DAD

Updated pictures of our Boys.

I just recently found updated photos of our boys and wanted to share them with you.  Cherdinor is 6 years old and Davidson is 4 years old now.   They are becoming more handsome every day.

We also wanted to post a picture of the orphanage where they are living.   They are being well taken care of but we can not wait to get them here.  This orphanage will be a part of their memory and heritage and we will always be thankful for Hal and Chris and the work they do in Haiti.

 

 

 

Everything is still quiet with our paperwork still in IBESR.  Laws seem to be changing and we are not sure how this will effect us, but we will leave all of that in God's hands.  Continue to pray for us for the patience to see these boys home and the strength to help these boys become soldiers for Christ.





 

Life Goes On (some more)......

We have started back the new school year for our biological children and we are all having a blast.  My oldest daughter plays soccer for Freed-Hardeman University and she has started her first year of college life.

My son is a sophomore at Chester County High School and he kicks for the high school football team.  He is a good soccer player, too.



My third child is a freshman and Chester County High School and she also plays soccer and basketball.

 

 

We love to be busy, and their activities keep us hopping.   We have not heard anything from our Haitian boys.   We did get to talk with them today and they were quiet as usual.  It was still good talking with them.  One of these days they will be playing ball here, too.  Davidson had a birthday in August, and he is now 4 years old.  I told him next year we will celebrate his birthday with a pool party.  I do not think he knew what that was.  On September 15 will be the one year anniversary of our paperwork being presented to IBESR to be approved.   No word of any kind yet but I am hearing that the new adoptions laws have passed both houses and maybe that will do away with our dispensation need, thus our paperwork will get into the court system a little quicker.  We just continue to pray and it will move quickly so we can get our boys here.  We know it will be here one day just like another fall season of sports has come again. 

 

Hope everyone is having a great Labor Day weekend!!!!!
