Prayer Needed

I realize that my simple little blog doesn't attract too much attention or traffic for that matter, however there is a desperate situation that I have come across of another adopting 'blogger' family who just this morning has suffered the tremendous loss of their home to a fire. They have adopted many children into their family, a son from Korea, a son from China, most recently ( in December 2008) a son and daughter from Uganda and they are awaiting for their daughter from China.

You can visit their site at: A Place Called Simplicity (just click on the name to be taken to their site).

You can also catch updates as the Saunder's family may not be able to post from time to time here: JOY Unspeakable (again you can click on the name to be taken to their site).

Help is needed for this family! Would you please join me in praying for them as they deal with such an incredible loss.


***UPDATE: This morning the Saunder's family not only were dealing with the tragic loss of their home, but their son Graham was taken to the hospital for surgery for acute appendicitis. As if this family wasn't already experiencing enough trauma to their life. Your prayers are continually needed.

I've been following this family's story for some time. How heart-wrenching to have them lose their home and all of the souveniers of their many travels.

But now it looks like a group of folks are trying to get them on the TV show where ABC(?) builds them a new house in a weekend...at least that's what I've read. Hmmmmm....

Hope you're all doing well. I have to say (again) that I LOVE your family photo. It's gorgeous of all of you!
