Amie...how do you pause blog music? Sorry...geek, I'm not!
umm.. thank you SO MUCH for thinking I MIGHT be a Blog geek cause I know how to pause my music!! Feelin' super cool!
Scoll down to the bottom of the blog and in the side bar you will see the tunes widget. Just click pause.
Now that you know the secret and how easy it is, am I still a geek?

I watched this video this morning on Lisa's blog and cried off all of my make-up. This long wait, with no end in sight, really stinks. Another Christmas without my child :o(
PS: I'll be stealing it too..
Something like this should keep being shared.
I saw this earlier today! Cried the whole way through. AWESOME.
Oh my goodness. I agree with PIPO, I'll be sharing it as well. My heart goes out to all.
Wow! That is such an amazing video and it did bring me to tears.
I am praying for all these separated families... my heart breaks for you.
A 2-tissue video, for certain. Thanks so much for sharing.
Oh my gosh I can't even see the screen. That really said everything I and so many others are feeling. Thank you.
Love and blessings, Kristy
ps I hope you don't mind I put it on my blog also.
Yikes I'm a drippy mess!
Very beautiful and heart wrenching video! Thanks for sharing!
Who knew there was a song to how I was feeling all day today? We decorated the Christmas tree, and in a busy and blessed home it feels incomplete. I just said prayers with my kids as I tucked them in, "that God would fill our daughters heart with his love like only he can and that she would feel his arms around her, while she waits for us" . Now, I'm watching this video and crying my eyes out. I hope that this song doesn't come on while I am driving, that would be dangerous.
Thanks for sharing.

How precious! Earlier today Doug and I were talking about how lonely that Christmas was when we were waiting for our referral, knowing that our daughter was on the other side of the world without us. Then the contrast of joy as we looked at her face just two weeks later, it was such a triumphant moment as we recognized the great sovereignty of our God!
Wow.
Email me your address. I lost the other one or I deleted it or something....Does that make me a moron or what?

This song was very special to us as we waited last year... and now as we prepare for Christmas this year, home with our daughter... it has a whole new level of meaning. Awesome!!! :)

Thanks for sharing...I'd like to post it on my blog to share as well...do you know this family and/or would it be OK to link to your blog?
Thanks

I just now saw this video and it is BEAUTIFUL. The reality from the "other side" (the sending country)and the paperwork tangle is that there are so many cases and people behind desks working on them (not in the orphanages or homes) that NO ONE seems to care that another child passes another Christmas without family. It's just not on their radar. Plus in developing countries the vacations can be so longggg and nothing gets done in December and January.
We had FOUR children who could've (should've) been with their new families by Christmas but it did not happen. It is beyond words frustrating when no one seems to think of it from that perspective!!
On a brighter note, at Christmas time I've found that in most homes/orphanages around the world, it is a special time with more gifts, visitors, outings, food, treats, etc.....although NOTHING compares with having family!
