Sara Eve's Adoption

Sunday, April 23, 2006

Sara attended her first church service today. Today is Sunday, April 23, 2006.

We went to church this morning and Sara enjoyed all of the music that was played. She got a little antsy between times though. She was so curious at everyone coming in to church. She always looked around to see where everyone was coming from and where they were sitting. She is very observant. Even though I was holding her, she still looked around to see if I was still there. She enjoyed everyone that came to speak to her. She smiled at them and turned to look at me. Of course, I had the biggest smile on my face because she is so cute. Everyone just loved her and commented on how well behaved she was (they ought to see her at home when she doesn't get her way.) She did do very well this morning.

Our pastor, Chip, always asks if there are any first time visitors. When he did so this morning, there were some first timers there but he commented on a very special first time person there and he came to where we were sitting and ask Keith and I to introduce Sara Eve. The congregation applauded us because they all knew about our trip and where praying for us the entire time. Chip gave a little speech about Sara and proceeded with his service.

Our service today was well fitting with the life and times of Sara and our little family. The service was about helping the needy. Of course, this could mean all kinds of needs that different people and families have but today it was special because we (Keith and Susie) obeyed in the Lord when we pursued the adoption for Sara. The bible talks about helping the orphans of this world. I truly believe that we were put on this earth for Sara. Today was a special day for us and I want to thank God for allowing us to make a difference in her life. Two people can't change the lives for every orphan but we can change at least one persons life and God has given us this opportunity to do that. Everyone says what a wonderful thing we are doing for her but it's God's glory that he has given us the strength and wisdom to do so. When you pray for us remember to thank God for choosing us to do His great work!

We had a wonderful weekend filled with meeting lots of new people. Uncle Chris and Aunt Betsy came with cousin David to meet Sara. Keith and I didn't have a chance to meet David because he was born 2 days before we left for China. David is already a month old. He is as cute as he can be. We will post some pictures of him for you to see.

Sara didn't really know what to think of him. She kept looking at him and wanted to pet him like she does Ginger (our house pet). She doesn't understand that he is a human and a baby just like she is. If you really want to know the truth, I think she was a little jealous when mom held David.

Here are a few pictures from this weekend!

Enjoy!
