Love Without Boundaries

These are my babies. I am completely and forever in love with them. I look at them and the love I feel surpasses any other emotion I'm experiencing at the moment. They are the greatest miracle of my life.

We are greatly blessed.

There are those babies and their families, however, who are not so lucky. I don't know why we get to be one of the families who seem to be more blessed than others, but I do know it is all God's plan, even though it doesn't seem fair. All I can come up with, with my limited understanding, is that those of us who are so lucky, for whatever reason, are in a position to show compassion to those who aren't.

I can't do much... In these hard economic times, we have no disposable income. But I can do this: I can share with you groups that I run across that I admire and strive to be able to contribute to someday, and I can pray that by God's grace maybe one of you will run across the information I provide and be able to help out.

Today, as I was perusing stock photos on the web, I indirectly came into contact with this website, www.LoveWithoutBoundaries.com. To say the least, I was touched. These people have set up a network of care for babies born in China who are orphaned, particularly those born with cleft palates. They have opened a home where these babies can go to live for the first six months or so of there lives, where their primary purpose is to hold them, feed them, comfort them... Love them. Once they are old enough, the babies undergo surgery to repair their cleft palate.

I just... I just... I mean... That is a beautiful thing.

I won't go into it anymore... Visit the website and you will see the good work they are doing.

If you feel so inclined, help. If you think you can't help, you're wrong... You can pray.
