I have a friend here who has done something similar — a homeschool mom who started Aid for Africa’s Children (www.afachildren.org) in Swaziland. Amazing !! There a lots of kids there also, who could write their own “I’m raising my siblings” blog — if they were old enough to write, and blessed enough to be taught how.

Later this morning I’m heading down to the Court Building to celebrate National Adoption Day and the 16 adoptions being finalized . . . and realizing that it’s barely a percentage-of-a-fraction-of-a-drop in the (worldwide) bucket.

And I’m wondering if perhaps we should foster or adopt again? Or get behind an organization such as Encouragement, Inc. or AFA and help them do as much as possible in their corner of the world — which will still be just a percentage-of-a-fraction-of-a-drop in the bucket.

I guess if we all didn’t believe that lighting a candle is better than cursing the darkness — we wouldn’t be here. So: Let Your Little Light Shine !!
