Shayden's musings on poverty

This morning, Shayden started talking about "Baby Elizabeth in Uganda", who's got no parents.

He has been faithfully praying for her - and, by the way, she now does have a couple who are pursuing adopting her, but we are still praying until she's safely in their arms. 

Adoption is a LOOOONG process!

After talking about her, Shayden proceeded to tell me a whole bunch of things. It was too precious!

This boy cracks me up!

I have no idea where he got all this from

Well - maybe some of the stuff I do have an idea where he heard it... :)

But some of the other stuff?

We do have most of the stuff he mentioned,

but no barbecue (would LOVE to get one, though!),

bunk beds 

and the nose-ring???

Give me a break!

How does this kids'  mind tick?

Not sure, but he sure keeps us laughing

and he was SO RIGHT about everything he said!

Just hit home again for me HOW BLESSED we are!

By the way, he got his cast off on Friday and all seems well.

He has 4 scars on his hand, some still look a bit "scary" 

so - photos are gonna have to wait for a lil while.

Love this boy!
