Catching Butterflies Two: Love Without Boundaries Needs a Courier(s) to Beijing

Love Without Boundaries Needs a Courier(s) to Beijing

We are looking for someone who might be able to pack along 6 cans of
powdered Goat's Milk, weighing approximately 1 pound each. They are for a
little boy in our Foster Care program, who is unable to drink regular milk
products due to thalessemia. The cans could be left at the front desk of your
hotel for our nutrition director in Beijing to
pick up.

We also need a courier to bring beneprotein cans.

It does take a few days to order the powder and beneprotein and I would have
the shipment sent directly to your home. Please email me off-list at jjbmag
@optonline.net (remove spaces). Thank you so much!

Do not depend on the hope of results. You may have to face the fact that your work will be apparently worthless and even achieve no result at all, if not perhaps results opposite to what you expect. As you get used to this idea, you start more and more to concentrate not on the results, but on the value, the rightness, the truth of the work itself. You gradually struggle less and less for an idea and more and more for specific people. In the end, it is the reality of personal relationship that saves everything.

Welcome to my blog! This is a special needs adoption blog. The blog is mostly about our Chinese daughter Sarah. I also blog about Philip and Thomas who are from Thailand. They make our lives full and interesting. I would not have it any other way! Maybe adoption would be right for you too? There are around 150 million orphans in the world. 50 million are available for adoption. The sad thing is most will never know the love of a family. If you have thought about adoption maybe you should take that next step? It isn't always easy or perfect but it is worth any cost. It's like being the fairy godmother to Cinderella. You are the one who makes it possible for them to go to the ball. There is nothing like it...adoption is wonderful!

WHY DO WE CALL IT CATCHING BUTTERFLIES?

Well, this might sound a little strange to some people if you don't believe in God, and his direction, but here is the story... I was going to visit my best friend Cindy who lives in San Diego. I live in Germany. This was just after Christmas Dec 2005. Cindy has a small group Bible study group she meets with. She mentioned to them we (myself and 3 of my kids) where coming for a visit. The group prayed for us. One of the people had what is known in the Bible as a word of knowledge. That basically means they had a vision or prophetic word from God. They said they see me catching butterflies. When Cindy told me this, I knew right away it had something to do with the adoption. At the time we had not even made a final decision to adopt again, but I wanted to adopt. I just thought it meant I was collecting beautiful children. Anyway, when I saw the face of my new daughter Sarah on a waiting child s list March 2006, I just knew she was the one. I noticed she had butterflies on her ball in the photo of her, but made no connection with the word of knowledge. I showed the picture to my daughter Nicole, who was 12 years old at the time, and much smarter then I. The first thing she said was"OH, she is catching butterflies"
