This is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that I am declaring my Christmas song for this year. I would like to dedicate it to my Zoe Mirna and to my friend Merideth Copeland. Merideth and her family are in the Ukraine right now searching for a little girl to adopt. Please keep them in your prayers. While we are fast asleep tonight they will be meeting with people who will help them find a little girl to go visit. They are praying she will be home with them soon. Maybe by Christmas. Merideth I'm so proud of you!!! To visit her blog go to http://spaces.msn.com/members/CopelandAdoption/
A little boy's letter to Santa......
Well I don't know if you remember me or not
I'm one of the kids they brought in from the home
I was the red-haired boy in an old, green flannel shirt
You may not have seen me, I was standing off alone
I didn't come and talk to you cause that's never worked before
And you'll probably never see this letter anyhow
But just in case there's something you can do to help me out
I'll ask you one more time
All I really want for Christmas is someone to tuck me in
A shoulder to cry on if I lose, shoulders to ride on if I win
There's so much I could ask for but there's just one thing I need
All I really want for Christmas is a family
Well I guess I should go ahead and tell you now
If it's really true about that list you have
Somehow I always seem to end up in a fight
But I'm really trying hard not to be bad
But maybe if I had a brother or a dad to wrestle with
Maybe they could teach me how to get along
And from everything I've heard it sounds like the greatest gift on earth
Would be a mom
All I really want for Christmas is someone who'll be here
To sing me happy birthday for the next 100 years
And it's okay if their not perfect or even if they're a little broken
That's all right 'cause so am I
Well I guess I should go, it's almost time for bed
And maybe next time I write you I'll be at home
Cause all I really want for Christmas is someone to tuck me in
Tell me I'll never be alone, someone who's love will never end
Of all that I could ask for, well, there's just one thing I need
All I really want for Christmas is a family
Steven Curtis Chapman has 3 biological children and has 3 adoptive children from China. He has become such a wondeful voice to the Christian community about adoption. If you want to learn more about how to adopt you can visit Steven's site
If you need a grant for adoption or want to give a gift to help others who are adopting
If you just like the song and want the CD!!! :0)
I promise I'm not working for Steven Curtis Chapman!! I just appreciate what God is doing through his family.
As we sit around our Thanksgiving table tommorrow I will be dreaming of the extra chair that will be added to our table next year for our little one. I am so thankful that our little Zoe Mirna knows we are coming to get her soon. So grateful for all of you who will help support us in making her feel at home in Houston. So thankful for those of you who are on your own adoption journey walking out your faith.
Those of you who hear God whispering to you that your little boy or girl is out there waiting for you... Have courage to take a leap. You will be forever thankful and a child will be too.
Thank you to all of you... I am constantly moved by your love and support.
YOU ARE WHAT I AM THANKFUL FOR!!!
Have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving. Treasure the people around you. God has given them to you no matter where they came from.
When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you.
Deuteronomy 8:10
Love, :0) Angel
