Joy Tripled!

Tonight as we sleep something wonderful will be going on in China. Three of Teddi's "waiting" friends will no longer be orphans, they will become members of families. They will have mamas and babas, and brothers and sisters to love them forever. All three on the very same day!

Teddi's little Zhuhai "sister" Bao Bao will get her family just shy of her second birthday. Bao Bao will become Isabelle Pearl MinBao, the youngest child of eight for her mama and baba! So many people to love her! We love you Bao Bao, and we are so happy for you, and for your family.

Another of Teddi's Zhuhai friends, "Jack", will also become his mama and baba's eighth child! Jack is very close in age to Teddi so the two of them spent their whole lives together in Zhuhai, until Teddi left. I'm so thankful that Bao Bao and Jack are following so closely behind Teddi in joining their forever families.

Last but not least is Claire, who will also become a daughter on Sunday night. Claire is getting a family for her third birthday! Unlike Bao Bao and Jack, Teddi does not have a history with Claire, yet . . . but we count the days until Claire's homecoming . . . for when Claire is finally home, she will be Teddi's new friend and neighbor!

I love how God has been faithful to Teddi . . . even as she has said good-bye to her orphanage sisters and brothers, she will now welcome a new friend from China, so very close. He is faithful!

My heart is filled with excitement knowing that three more little ones are spending their last night as orphans. Tomorrow they will become a son and daughters to families who have waited faithfully to welcome them home.

Many more children "wait" around the world (and in our own neighborhoods) to be welcomed into families. Will you pray for them? And will you rejoice with me that Isabelle, Jack and Claire are coming home?

Blessings~
