This picture doesn't do justice to the beautiful luminaries our friends lovingly made and placed on our driveway. It was amazing reading all the messages and seeing the sweet pictures that decorated them. It is truly wonderful how all of this support helps with the healing.
The initial immense shock and disbelief has worn off. We know that we will never get to meet Samuel this side of heaven. But we know that he doesn't need us anymore! He is fully healed and restored!
We know that God is good and he can bring joy from the sadness!
"In Africa, we don't have the privilege of crying too long, there are always more children that need us."
These were words that were written to us by Samuel's orphanage's director. Their everyday life consists of stories of children sick and dying. They must carry on and continue to serve those that they can. God has opened our hearts to special needs adoption in Liberia and we need to pray about how we can carry on and continue to serve those that we can.
