Many times we tend to forget how fortunate we all are .. well at least for me, I tend to whine about this and that. I was clearing my Inbox this afternoon and was touched by this particular email. I have replaced the real name of the person with only initials to protect her ID and some words with "@_@" that would give away what I do, hehe:
---------------------------------
"I was so excited to find your @_@. My husband and I have adopted two children from China, and it has been very difficult to find Asian children @_@ to use in making their lifebooks. Both of the children have special challenges. Joshua, age 8,(from Hefei, Anhui Province) was burned very badly when he was 5 months old, and he has a prosthetic leg and is missing his hand on the left side. Our Marinna, age 10,(from Shanghai) was born without her left hand. I loved your special needs kids @_@. Thank you so much for sharing your God given gift and talent.
Best wishes,
B. E.
Denton, Texas"

I am touched by how much love this person has to adopt special needs children as their own. It takes tremendous amount of Love, Courage and Strength to do what she did. She and her hubby must be such lovely people. Yet she chose to drop me a nice note to thank me for something very insignificant compared to hers. May God bless them and their newly adopted children tremendously.
