a moose in moscow

I know some of you are going to think I’m a bit crazy, but I have a little favor to ask of you.

The first thing that I want you to do is reread these two posts: Devastating and Devastating, Part II

Then, I want you to take 10 minutes? 15 minutes? 20 minutes? and just think. Back away from the computer, do this when your kids aren’t around, when you don’t have other things on your mind. Think about what it’s like to be an orphan. Think about what your life would be like without your family. I mean, really think, what if that were you, in that crib. Or what if that was your darling child?

I hope this doesn’t sound totally crazy, but I want you to more than know the reality that these children face every day… I want you to FEEL that reality. I want hearts to break for these orphans…

And maybe, if you do all that for me, because you are wonderful, will you tell someone else? Will you teach them the realities for these children and let their heart break too?
