We Fell In Love So Quickly!

From the minute we saw her tiny little picture, 

she was ours.

And for four short days,

 we planned and giggled about having such a wee little one to love and raise.

But,

 she belonged to the Father from the time she was conceived.

He knit her together and

now she is in His presence for eternity.

We don't have any details.  

Our agency didn't hear anything except that she passed away.

What we do know, is that for four days, 

hundreds of people around the globe

rejoiced with us. 

One more precious little treasure would have a home.

Maybe that is why she was ours.

Maybe God wants us to know that life is precious

and the needs of His children are 

real 

and 

urgent!

David Platt said it well,

"Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names.  

They are easier to ignore before you see their faces.

It is easier to pretend they're not real before you hold them in your arms.

But once you do, everything changes...."

We didn't get to hold our little Rou Rou.

But she changed us.
