once upon a time

Once upon a time there was a tiny baby boy. He lived in a beautiful, far away land called Ethiopia. This baby boy was so tiny that when he moved from his orphanage to the adoption agency's Transition Home, the nannies were afraid he would break.

There was one nanny that wasn't afraid to touch him. She took him as her own and took very good care of him, helping him to gain weight and develop. Without God supplying the orphanage, Transition Home, and special nanny, this baby boy would not have survived.

The tiny baby boy's name was Mezmur. Silas Mezmur.

Today, one year later, that baby boy is a thriving toddler.

Right now at that same Transition Home are babies just like Silas. They are coming in from areas of Ethiopia that have been ravaged by famine and there is no guarantee of survival.

Go HERE to read more and see what you can do to help. Tom Davis has hooked up with America World and is raising money for special formula to nourish these children.

These babies could have been Silas.

These babies could be our children.

These babies are God's children. We can do something!

I want to add that the pictures we have of Silas are well after he had been in our agency's care. The situation for the children, currently, is dire. Thanks to this family for connecting Tom Davis with America World. I think this is a picture of watching God's will unfold and what obedience to his nudges can bring.
