Strength........

I sit here this morning thinking of all the random things that need to be done.  Beds changed, dishes cleaned, Mary Kay order placed ..........but then I think of the Davis family who this week are fighting with all their might to get together every piece of paper they need for an appeal.

  Last week they were denied the adoption of Kirill their son from Eastern Europe.  After many months of fighting to get to court theythen were DENIED in court!!!  As they sat there in front of a judge and begged to allow their little boy to go home with them, the prosecuter chose to tell the judge he did not approve of the adoption.  The judge in turn denied the request.  She decided that being in an institution was better then a family!!!  This was the first adoption of a child with down syndrome in this region.  Please keep them in your prayers.  They have one more chance and there is two families also going before this same judge in a couple weeks to plead their case and hope for an approved adoption. 

So when I think of all they are fighting for the few things I have on my to-do  list no longer seems important.  Instead hugging my kids, enjoying their laughs, singing at the top of our lungs, dancing like fools in the livingroom or reading a book with some hot chocolate with them on my lap moves to the top.  Enjoy those moments everyday!!!
