Happy Thanksgiving!

We woke up to snow today! Thankfully it was just a dusting though. I hope that everyone has a great Thanksgiving. We all have so much to be thankful for. We were reading this afternoon that we should give thanks regardless of our feelings and He will give us joy regardless of our circumstances. Sounds like a good deal to me! We were invited to celebrate Thanksgiving with a family that we met at church. The man/father of the family is here in Lviv planting a church and grew up in S. Africa and Wisconsin. He seems like a very interesting guy. We are looking forward to it. Please continue to pray that we can get the papers we need to get a court day so we can go home! Also, please pray for our hearts. Every time I leave the orphanage, I cry and cry thinking about how these ADORABLE children have everything in terms of clothes, shelter, and food, but don't have the most important thing...a mommy or daddy. It is breaking my heart!!! I'm trying to hug and love them all and play with our little one all at the same time. They crave attention and we are thankful that we can give them some. It's going to be very hard to leave them all after seeing them for about four hours a day for many weeks! Pray that these orphans in Lviv will eventually have homes to grow up in.
