a heartbreaking video...

As usual I was reading blogs from inspirational people and I happened on a blog of a couple that does mission work in Africa.  The video of them coming inot the village and finding 2 little starving kids on the ground was just too much.  I tried to find it today to post but couldn't and it's probably for the better because it is haunting me...It made me think that we really need to do more.  When I see these children (one was 7 years old and looked like a small 2 year old) I just can't stop trying to do more.  I wish I could tell everyone that adopting is such an amazing gift!  We did not adopt because we had extra time...or energy...or money.  We adopted because these children need a family and we had one.  You don't need to be special or perfect or amazing...you just need to open your heart to a child that otherwise has nothing.  Our family was far from perfect..We've been through thick and thin , hissy fits, backtalk and just plain old melt downs.  I hit the bed each night completely pooped!!  But I wouldn't trade a thing.  We are here to do more.  It makes me sad that our world has become about "stuff"...it needs to be about people, children, giving, reaching and doing.
