I hope you all had a wonderful day. We are thankful for our many blessings: God's gift of his son for our salvation, our family, the ability to spend Thanksgiving with our grandparents, the fact that in a few short months Kai Wei and Sarah Grace should be HOME, a delicious Thanksgiving dinner, the technology that allows us to have video chats with the kids, a country where we are safe and free... We truly have many blessings.
There are so many others, however, who aren't as blessed, and I wanted to share this opportunity to be a blessing to them with you. Reece's Rainbow is an organization that helps children with Down syndrome be adopted. They sponsor children and help raise money for families who are in the process of adopting children with Down syndrome. This year, they are doing a Christmas fundraiser. Their goal is to raise $1,000 for each of the 85 children they are trying to find family's for. Visit their site, donate if you feel led, and pray for these children.
Many of them will be moved to mental institutions and receive very little care if they are not adopted. You can read about one family's journey to adopt Aleksa, a little girl with Down syndrome and get the code to put your own button link to Reece's Rainbow on the Cornish family's blog.
