NEW HOPE

SHOW HOPE / NEW HOPE - KIDS WAITING FOR FAMILIES
Here are the precious children in the care of Show Hope / New Hope who are currently available for adoption. These children have varying ages and special needs, but the biggest need of each one is a family. They are loved dearly by their nannies and nurses and provided access to important medical care and surgeries through the Show Hope / New Hope program while they are waiting for their forever families.
There are many adorable children in the care of Show Hope / New Hope, but not all of them are paper ready. I'll keep this list as up to date as I can with those who are available for adoption. Show Hope / New Hope plays no role in if or when a child becomes available for adoption.

ABOUT LOVE

A friend posted this on face book:

"You do not know understand Christianity or the teachings of Jesus
 unless you fully understand that it is about LOVE, loving the least
of these Matthew 25:31-46 and loving your neighbor where ever 
they are.  Christianity is not about taking care of myself and my own
first, it's the exact opposite.  The beatitudes and the Sermon on the
Mount explain it so well.  What is happening in our country right
now has nothing to do with Christianity and breaks the heart of God.

PRESIDENTS DAY

Yesterday @ 6 am David received a call from work....
His crew was having issues and he was  not there to deal with
it.  I kinda felt sorry for him. Like he has to speak at church for
the next 2 weeks while starting  a new boat and back to overtime.
Praying that we don't get any snow this week while the kids are
on school vacation.  Just fun times !
Today we meet up with Brooke and her parents @ Jokers.
Brooke turned 3  !!
when we got there Gabriel got nervous and looked like he was
going to cry. We reassured him that he did not have to do anything
that scared him. Him and Rohana did not want to go on the slides
or bounce house or thru the tunnel play area. Hrutuja on the other
hand wanted to do everything Brooke was doing.
Brooke comes running up to me "Memere, I need money!"
She needed tokens, I had to laugh, it was funny.
Rohana sat at the table with  Rebekah and me and didn't want
to play any games. I felt bad because I let her stay up until 10 o'clock
because Repunzle was on tv last night. but she took a nap on the way home.

WINTER BLIZZARDS

snow , snow and more snow ..... ugggg
Last Monday was a 2 hour delay and no school on Tuesday
and Thursday because of snow.  Thursday after dinner I headed out
to snow blow my mom out and when I got there the neighbor started
doing her driveway, I think I said out loud.. "thank you, Jesus !"
I thanked him soo much for helping, he is a great neighbor.
Friday am we headed out to see the dietitian for Rebekah,
The roads were still aweful and the cold air took our breath away.
Once on the turnpike I needed to washing my windshield and only the
drivers side washed and I had another "Thank you Jesus" moment.
Our 1-3 inches for Saturday turned into 3-6 inches but dad still took
the little's bowling. They love going to bowl for the light.
Now (Sunday 2/12)  we are about to get  22-24 inches of snow.
Quite the blizzard with 50-60 mph winds expected power outages.
Everything that is non emergency is shut down for tomorrow.
Praying for the people whos power goes out (probably us) no generator.
Forecast is for another 6-9 inches Wednesday into Thursday... uggg
we are shoveling our driveway, the church, my mom and dads driveways.
I am not complaining just exhausted
Trying to see the Blessing in all this snow.
There has to be some fun tomorrow with no school and no work.. YES
That is the blessing of all the snow.. a family day.. awesome

Pray for New England 

WHY

A picture pooped up on my phone that I thought I had deleted.  Oh my
we really wanted to bring them home to our family, our children were
all excited about it.  The roads kept leading there, hings we saw, little
reminders. we fought so hard for 6 months then our hearts were broken
when we were told " a family has submitted LOI for them".
Our world stopped...What do we do ??  We felt that God wanted us to
continue.  so that is what we did.  we sent LOI for our Grace.

So when the picture had pooped up that evening
I foolishly looked at the waiting child listing that had the 2 siblings listed,
I just wanted to be reminded that they had a family coming for them,
But instead I saw that they no longer had a family going to get them.
oh my, I cried for them.  WHY ??
