Thankful..

Thankful today, for my family, for my friends near and far.  Thankful that there is food in the refrigerator.  Thankful that my doors have locks.  Thankful for safety, security and love.  Thankful that knowing no matter how much I mess up, God loves me still, my family loves me still, my friends love me still.

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone.

This is Important:

We teach by example.  We lead by example.  We learn by example.  Your actions are testimony to who and what you are, who you stand for.  What you believe in.  We are all not perfect.  We all make mistakes.  We all live with wrong ideals.  We all do not agree. But we should all respect each other and not spout off "knowledge" as fact when we don't really understand or truly know what we are talking about.  It leads to hatred.  It leads to negativity.  It leads to people feeling bad and sometimes making poor choices.

I believe that everyone has a good heart.  I believe that God loves everyone.  I believe that everyone is entitled to the things they believe in.  I believe it is no one's place to judge others.  I believe I am struggling with some of these statements myself and have to work on them.  

Over the next few days I have to get my thoughts together. I have been praying over how to do it,  but there are some things I want and need to say, though as this blog is centrally an adoption blog, I will probably be posting them somewhere else.  I will be leaving the link soon.  

If you are religious, remember God is there.  He is the same God today as he was yesterday and as he will be tomorrow.  If you are not religious, maybe take extra time to find things that make you happy.  All of us should anyway.  I don't think anyone should focus only on the bad.

Take care everyone.  

Love,

Debrah.

Please Don't Just Pass Them By..

Today is Orphan Sunday...

This is the third time I've posted this video on this blog over the years.  And I will post it, again and again.  It is worth it.  Please watch it.



I've blogged before about how orphans are tied up, how they are so stiff they can't move, how they are starving.  Here is just a small glimpse of that.  And it isn't just the country featured in this video.  Many (not all) places are like this:




Hi everyone, the little girl Kareen has a family and is home.  But there are so many others who do not.  Please, I know we can't all adopt.  I can't adopt.  But we can all do something.  Visit these websites.  Pick a child, scream at the top of your lungs all over your social media for that child or for any or all of these kids.  Pass the websites on.  Alot of people just don't know this happens.  Pray for them if you pray.  Adopt if you can. 

Realistically, I know alot of people will come to this blog and leave without clicking the links at the bottom of this post.  Alot of them may leave without watching the videos.  But please look.  Please click.  It only takes a few minutes of time - that may very well change the world for someone else.

Thank you for reading here today, Orphan Sunday.
Take care.
