Dinner conversation at Panda Express was about Orphan Sunday tomorrow:
Dayna~What's an orphan?
Mom~An orphan is a boy or a girl who doesn't have a mommy or a daddy.
Dayna~So was I an orphan?
Mom~You were, but you aren't anymore!
Dayna (to Dad)~Were you an orphan?
Dad~No, I wasn't an orphan.
Mom~Did you know that there are over 143 million orphans in the world? That's why we're telling people about it at church tomorrow.
Dayna~What can I do to help an orphan?
Mom and Dad share several ideas.
Dayna~Can we go buy some clothes now to send to Gutian (the orphanage where she once lived)?
Mom & Dad~ABSOLUTELY!
Panda Express was conveniently located near Wal-Mart. A half hour later, we were walking out with warm clothes for older boys and girls, several pairs of thick socks, some fun baby toys and knit winter hats. We have to restrain Dayna from packing everything up tonight!
I'm so glad to see her generosity.
So...what can you do?

So many people say how blessed the orphans are that have been adopted. Our reply is that it's not the orphans who are blessed as much as those who have been selected by God to love them. Blessed indeed - Papa & Nana
