Gifts For Aneyah

Thursday we received a box from my parents with gifts for Aneyah. I talked to my Mom and Dad later Thursday evening and Mom said, "Go ahead and open them!" Some of what is opened I may want to take to China. With each one of our daughter's adoptions, my parents have supplied similar gifts to each girl. So, this is Aneyah's box of those gifts. Friday after dinner, we decided to open the gifts. There were 6 wrapped gifts so we each opened one. With the six gifts there was a quilt that my Mom had embroidered nursery rhyme characters on as well as gave a nursery rhyme book. One important gift always given by my parents is the girl's first Bible. To us, the most important gift of all! She also did a pillow case for Aneyah with cute characters on it.

We want to say a HUGE thank you to my parents. They gave me their frequent flier miles so if there is a free seat available for purchase with miles on my flights to and from China, I will be able to travel on a free ticket. This could be a huge savings to us.

We have also received a grant from Gift of Adoption http://www.giftofadoption.org/ and a no interest loan from Pathways For Little Feet for whatever we don't raise with our fundraisers www.adoptionbug.com/helptobringaneyahhome and donations to Small World. We want to thank both of these organizations for selecting our family!

We have been truly blessed for Aneyah's adoption. Deuteronomy 32:3 I will proclaim the name of the Lord. Oh, praise the greatness of our God! Yesterday we found out about our grant and loan. At dinner one of the girl's said, "Wow, we had such a lucky day!" I smiled and said, "It is not luck but the hand of God working for our adoption of Aneyah!" I am overwhelmed by God's greatness and wonderful caring for his children!
