Who wouldn’t want to bless a baby?

Well, I think most of you know about TJ’s cousin, Shannon and her great heart for orphans.  Many of you have prayed as she went to adopt her China girls and some even prayed as she led a team this summer to the orphanage where Sage lived some of the early months of her life.  Shannon’s team had an amazing time and have truly built an amazing relationship with the orphanage there.  Shannon saw a need to get those babies out of their cribs and raised money for some bumbo seats almost immediately.  In fact she had enough for several AND some exersaucers!  The orphanage has sent her pictures of their babies in their new seats and requested MORE.  The other babies were crying when there wasn’t enough seats for them.  So, again. . . the funds were there.  In another picture Shannon noticed a couple babies with head bandages.  After writing the orphanage, it turns out they had boils and the heat aggravates that.  They need an window air conditioning unit for the sick baby room.  $600 – raised!  A mom picking up her child there saw in some rooms that Shannon did not get to see and said they could use a couple more.  Shannon has a way to “chip in” your money on her blog to go directly to help these babies.  They are getting close to the needed funds for the other units.  What an easy way to connect with some nannies and orphans across the world and bless them!  And then, they have been sending pictures of the babies enjoying these gifts!  So, go check it out and bless some babies!!  herewegrowagain.blogspot.com
