800...

Posted on February 2nd after Lizzie's orphanage visit

Thank you all so much! Lizzie and I had a long talk last night. 

So much for her heart to take in.

So much I want to tell you all about that visit, like the amazing art work some of the aged out kiddos had done... 

and the beautiful gift they gave her at lunch... 

and the precious faces of those who had been there too long and those who had just arrived...

Both without hope...

They have a pet goat that they have raised from a baby...

their own veggie garden...

and a wonderful program in which their aged out kiddos can work...

 and create...

 and feel productive.

We were actually able to purchase some of the ceramic pieces!

Will was a trooper, laughing and talking with all of the nannies! 

He is such a flirt! 

We are gonna have to watch this one! 

*grin*

In the end though, as beautiful as their buildings were and as amazing as their therapy rooms were... 

it is still an institution and there are 800 children there y'all! 

800!!

Please, if any of this has stirred your heart and you think the Lord may be leading you toward one of the precious ones who wait, please just ask!
