Blessed

Last night we had the privilege of seeing the African Children's Choir perform at our church. They are amazing kids that can dance and dance and dance, and of course sing. What an amazing thing to see. And we also had 3 of the boys from the choir sleep at our house last night and they get to sleep here again tonight. I don't think we have ever had more fun. These children are so happy and thankful and such a joy to be around. And they are funny. We are really enjoying thier company. They love Joshie's white hair, and can't help but touch it and they love babies. Last night at 10pm, one boy called to me from upstairs, "Auntie, the baby is awake." And so I asked if they would like to see her, and they replied, "We already did!" They were standing by her crib. It was really precious. The most amazing thing of the night was reading stories to them and our boys. We read Curious George, and the African boys LOVED hearing the story, they laughed and laughed. And the sweetest thing was when they all snuggled really close next to me. I loved it!! We are blessed beyond words to have these boys stay with us. They are an inspiration and bring such hope. They love life. I can't wait to have them here again tonight. We get to pick them up from the church at 5!
