What are we thankful for?

Psalm 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, [and] into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, [and] bless his name. KJV

What are we thankful for?
*Our God remains on the throne no matter what
*His plan of salvation
*The many blessings we receive so casually each day:
(family, health, a roof over our heads, heat and air conditioning, free flowing clean water and food on the table just to name a few)

There are 143 million orphans worldwide and countless others living in deplorable conditions for many different reasons. Many might ask God,"Why??!!" God may just ask us the same question. Won't you join me in prayer for those less fortunate and for those who don't yet know God's plan of salvation so that they too may choose life.

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. KJV

Happy Thanksgiving!

Big brother Robbie insisted that Andrew should have this cute little jacket. He wasn't too sure at first but after awhile he was sporting a hat as well.

Andrew and our Golden Retriever "Manley"

Andrew was shrieking in fear when he first encountered Manley. As you can see, things have changed.

Please Welcome Andrew Porter

We are home!

After many hours in the air and 10 hours wandering around airports, we finally made it home. Oddly enough it didn't seem that bad. Andrew slept on all of the flights. We spent the airport time running off energy. It took a few hours for Andrew to warm up to his brothers but soon they had him rough housing with hearty laughs. Leah came home the next day. It took him a little longer to warm up to her. But as I type this they are playing cars on the kitchen floor with great enthusiasm. Andrew seems to be adjusting pretty well. Nights are still a little rough but once he gets to sleep he stays asleep with a few exceptions.
