Give me a break!!

I’m watching a STUPID… yep, I said it… commercial for ASPCA… all about “saving a poor animal’s life” for just $XX a month… “join us in making a difference in an animal’s life”…

Ok, before you all start throwing the flames at me, and thinking I’m a coldhearted meanie who doesn’t love animals, I want to show you something…

This is Carrington Burman…

During a visit at the orphanage

And this is Carrington Burman…

The first time they saw her without all of the layers at the orphanage

She was adopted recently from the same country that Timothy came from(not the same region though). As soon as she got home, they took her straight to the hospital.  She was already in organ failure, her body preparing for death, and weighs only *11* pounds.  No, that isn’t a typo…  She is a very very ill little girl…

THIS is how I choose to make a difference… THIS is how I want to save a life… so forgive me if I don’t get the warm fuzzies at the stupid ASPCA commercial when there are CHILDREN who are in need.  There are CHILDREN who are dying. 

A little boy was denied his family this week because he has Down syndrome.  A family was told that they would not be “approved” for adopting a special needs child.  A Momma & Papa had to make the heartbreaking decision to not adopt a child child because the issues that he has are too much for their family to handle; now they grieve for the son that they have already loved for so long.   

THOSE are the lives that *I* want to make a difference for.  THOSE are the ones I wish I could do something for.  THOSE are the ones that I wish I could help with a “donation”.  THOSE are the ones that I will pray for until God makes His plan for them known to us. 

There are families in the process right now to raise the money to go to their children, to bring them home, where they will be loved, and cared for, and get the medical attention that they need, and the education that they deserve…the Tam Family ... or the Burlingham Family ...or ANY of the families or children at Reece's Rainbow . 

Can't afford to help in that way? Completly understandable!!  There IS something you can do... PRAY soldiers!!  PRAY!!! Take these families, and these children to the throne of God, and ask for their lives.  Pray that the comfort that only God can give will surround them.  Pray that God provides for the needs that they have. 

Pray for the families above, but also for The Davis family... and the Alkhazraji family... and the Moreno family... Pray that God will work in a mighty way... we know He can... we just have to ask...
