Hello friends!!
The other day Paige brought home a great book from school called "Martin's Big Words" by Doreen Rappaport. It's about the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
As we were reading it together - we talked a lot about racism in our country. About how many of the white people of those days had such hate in their hearts for black people.
It was a great opportunity to share with Paige and to talk about how God made all of us. He made us all different and that is incredibly special and good!
As we came to the end of the book, part of his famous "I Have A Dream" speech was quoted.
I couldn't believe what I read: (And remember we're adopting a black baby from Alabama)
"I have a dream that one day in Alabama little
black boys and black girls will join
hands with little white boys and white
girls as sisters and brothers."
I was immediately filled with emotion, "Paige!! That's us!!"
She looked up at me with glee and said "Mommy!!! Martin knew! Martin knew!!"
"No Paige, GOD knew! And I think He just gave us a gift today!"
What an incredibly personal God we serve!! I just can't get enough of Him!
He can't wait to speak personally to each one of us. Let's ask Him to reveal Himself to us today...He will do it!
Praise Him!

Hi Jami, That is so wonderful & fits our "Baskin Robbins" family (as some one put it at the adoption class the other day) as well. I was also thinking of the song....Jesus Loves the little Children, all the children of the world Red & Yellow, Black & White. They are precious in his site. Jesus loves the little children of the world.
