Teamwork

My wife Lisa and I have been amazed lately at how many people are involved in helping us bring our child home. We currently have about 70 places of business that have donated for the auction and we know of about 20 more that will be in the next few days. We have too many friends to count that are helping us. Its just been really inspiring to see everyone's hearts getting touched and getting involved. My wife has an idea and we are working on it now to make a blanket, the colors will be of the Ethiopian flag. She will be making it and we plan to have it at the dinner/auction. We have special markers made to write on cloth and we will be asking everyone who came to the dinner to eat, to participate in the auction, to help with the cooking, the tickets, the auction, the clean up etc etc to sign it. We want to give the blanket to our child so he or she will know how much they were loved, how many people sacrificed their time, their talent and their treasure to help rescue them from a life without a family. I think this idea is really a cool one. I hope to see you all there and watch you sign your names to the blanket. A legacy of love to share with one of God's children. Only 12 days left. Are you planning on being there??
