I am only one...

"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything­, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do." ~ Edward Everett Hale
Sean and I have been struggling to figure out how to bless others through the blessings our Abba has given us. We feel He is calling us to help with orphans - what that means, we aren't sure in the long run. There is an overwhelming need in the world, and it's hard to know where to being or what one family can even really do.We know in the short term in means doing what we can to help others bring home orphans to their forever families.

Here are two local families called to the front of the adoption lines:

The Stutzman Family - Eight by Grace
You can support this family bringing home baby girl Seble by donating or purchasing a t-shirt.

Erik with a K
You can support this family by donating or entering their raffle.

Want to know more about the plight of children who are considered Special Needs who need to be adopted? Get your heart and your tissues ready and check the No Greater Joy Mom blog, then see what Abba may be calling you to do:
I Left My Heart There
Reckless Abandon
Treasures of Darkness
Sharing my Heart

She also has links to families seeking funding to adopt these little ones who are in desperate need.

You can help support orphans and widows who are building a business and gaining skills to support themselves by purchasing from the Visiting Orphans store.
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress" James 1:27
