After the children, Ben and I verbalized things we were so very thankful for, we prayed. Andrew wanted to pray specifically for Isaac Diego, a baby being adopted in Colombia right now by some friends from New York. We prayed for "mucho muscles" and then we prayed for the parents. It was precious, and we are believing this is one more thing we will be able to praise God and give thanks for the blessings he will bestow on this family. Then, we enjoyed some yummy turkey and dressing, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, rolls, and "Coca-Cola" for everyone! (The kids RARELY get Coke to drink! It was a real treat for them!) We even ate on the China! It was a good day! We are very thankful for the three Colombian treasures we have this year, all the people we've met along the journey, especially my Yahoo girls, and the faithfulness of God. God is good when we are not...is it possible to list all the things He has blessed you with? I think it is impossible...we are blessed beyond what we can even imagine; God is good...My Daddy's King of the Universe! I am so thankful to be grafted into the family of God!
