Jewell a treasure waiting to be found!


              Meet “Jewell” – 4 years old
    "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the  LORD,  "plans to prosper you and not to harm you,  plans to give you  hope and a future."  Jeremiah 29:11
Jewell currently waits in a Chinese orphanage for a forever family to claim her as their own.  She needs medical treatment for her mild/moderate brittle bone disease that her orphanage is unable to afford. To keep her safe she remains in her crib or walker.  What Jewell really needs is medical care, physical therapy and LOVE!  Her prognosis is wonderful if she is given the treatment she needs!
If you would like more information about Jewell please contact Heidi Hawkins at www.childrenshouseinternational.com. Her email is heidigoestochina@msn.com.

Sometimes life is messy!

Adeye over at No Greater Joy Mom had a wonderful post today about letting go of perfection in parenting. A lesson I have also learned over the years. Below is one of my most favorite pictures of my then newly 3 year old daughter on Christmas day. The sheer delight she got from crumbling the packaging and the feel of it raining down on her after each handful was truly worth all the clean up it involved. I cherish that day and am so glad the mommy of clean and order didn't step in and stop this time I now treasure.
