I am finding it difficult to write today without crying!!! In my heart I know that no matter the outcome that nothing changes the fact that these are my children!! At this point I feel like I was made for them and they for me(smile). My journey to Ethiopia last year was in search of an infant girl. I ended up falling in love with a 4 yr old boy and later a 7yr old girl. See....here I go again...tears!!! So I am just going to post one of my favorite scriptures, I learned it a long, long time ago!!!


Beatitude is a possession of all things held to be good,
from which nothing is absent that a good desire may want.


"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called children of God.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

Gospel of St. Matthew 5:3-10
