Hi,
there’s not much to tell right now. Things are still moving
along…slowly, it seems. We’re finishing up Emma Grace’s room
and getting things done around the house. The boys are looking
forward to our trip to Birmingham in November. It seems the
baby tea my aunt Linda and mom have
been working on is growing a lot. Linda is really working hard
on it and I really appreciate it. It’s a very nice thing for
them to do for us and it seems it’s going to be quite a party!
I’m going to post some pictures of Chase’s band at the game last
week. The band is really good for a new school. The football
team leaves a bit to be desired, though. This is a short update
because there’s not much new to tell. So, until next time…I’ll
share another poem that has been going around the adoption email
lists.
WHY DO
I LOOK DIFFERENT, MOM?
by Debbie Bodie
"Why do I
look different, Mom?"
Emma Grace
will ask
one day.
"How come I don't resemble
all
the kids with whom I play?
My hair is inky black and straight,
my
skin's a different hue,
So would you tell me, Mom,
why
don't I look like you?"
"You're an Oriental flower,"
I'll tell my darling girl,
"Your skin and hair and eyes all come
from
halfway 'round the world.
The sun of China warmed your skin
to
that exquisite shade.
Your eyes are China's beauty marks,
your
hair a silk cascade
the
color of a midnight sky
unlighted
by a star.
So don’t think you look different, dear,
you
look like who you are."

Praise
Rodney’s dealership is finally moving to the new location.
Prayers
Pray that business will take off and is very successful.
Continue to
pray for Emma Grace while she’s in China…that she’s being
loved and cared for.
Pray that
referrals continue on track each month and we get a beautiful
picture of our daughter in January…and get to travel in
February or March.
