Family and reality.

At a museum.

Finding baby frogs with thier cousin.

In Grandma's garden.

At another museum.

My Family.

Smores at the neighbors pool {a mini water park}.

This time "away" has been such a blessing--rest and refreshment. However, reality set in when I got a call from Zane this morning. He shared with me about a boy who he found on the side of the road. He is mentally retarted and his parents treated him like an animal. He lost two toes due to gang green and if Zane had not picked him up he would have more than likely lost both feet.  He was being starved to death, wieghing no more than 30-40 pounds {he is 12 years old}.  Zane was able to find a home that was willing to care for this precious soul {a home run by a 60+ year old woman from New Zealand--who is already carrying for over 100 children}.  Please pray.

That pool does look amazing, love that you are being refreshed! Praying for more too.

Will also pray for that sweet boy. Why do people not understand that every child is GOD's? Breaks my heart.

The dichotomy is great isnt it? Our life here, real life over there?
