"Once our eyes are opened, we cannot pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act." Proverbs 24:12
"Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they're not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes."~ David Platt
Please feel free to sign our guestbook and comments sections. This is a way of allowing us to have something tangible to show our children when they are older of how many people loved them and were looking forward to them joining their forever family. God bless you!

I'd like to say I can handel this, but this has always been hard for me to face. That Cartoon, holy smokes~ I have been tormented ever since I read the Diary of Anne Frank. Thank you for spreading this message, those people suffered in ways I cannot wrap my mind about. Now I pray History doesn't repeat it's self
This was a touching post, Ohilda. Thank you. One of my closest friends in high school was the daughter of two survivors... they both were the only surviving members of their families due to the Holocaust.
Wow, thanks for that reminder, Ohilda. Each one of those numbers represents a LIFE, a FAMILY, a CHILD OF GOD! I have been catching up and I'm so sorry for all the mess you went through earlier. I'm thankful the Lord resolved it all in your favor; I am sure it built and strengthened your faith to walk through that fire. You are a wonderful mother, wife, prayer warrior, and friend! And on top of all that--your blog looks GREAT! Love you girl!
Welcome to my blog! Grab a cup of coffee and make yourself at home, while I tell you a little bit about myself.
I was raised a city girl, who is now living in the country, I have the best job in the world; being the Mama of 6 wonderful kids, 3 conceived in my womb, and 3 conceived in my heart. I am an advocate for the unborn, who believes in protecting the sanctity of life and although I am a sinner and often fail, I am saved by Grace. I try daily to live according to my Creator's Word.
I am also a firm believer in traditional marriages, the way God intended us to be. I'm married to my best friend, whom I happen to be madly in love with. I love sharing about our amazing God. He has changed my life and rocked my world. I lived many years without Him, and would never want to go back to that life!
I couldn't ask for a better life filled with lots of kids, an adoring husband, chaos, laughter and more love than you can imagine! That's my life....and I love it!
OUR FAMILY
The one who keeps us together, and the love of my life, my sweet hubby, Scott
Our Oldest Boy & His Beautiful Bride
Tito & Gloria
Our Handsome, Big Boy

The photograph, your words..... very powerful...
I truly don't know how we ever could forget.... and yet, I am amazed at how some try.
That cartoon - wow - and I wish I had been there when the photograph was made....and it's not 'never forget' - it's 'always remember'!
