I haven’t been able to come up with anything.
I’m going to tell the story anyway.
About a month ago, Micah asked James if he could eat marshmallows for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
James laughed and said, “When pigs fly!”
Then James and Micah had a long discussion about how it is physically impossible for pigs to fly and when someone says, “when pigs fly”, they are
really saying “NO!”
(One thing you should know about Micah: he NEVER accepts NO for an answer.)
Next thing we knew, Micah had written a letter to President
Obama. In this letter he created a
whole diagram telling the government exactly how to create flying pigs. It’s quite simple really… all you need
to do is inject a pig with bird DNA and voila! You have flying pigs.
He placed the diagram and letter in an envelope, addressed
it to the White House, stuck a stamp on it and threw it in the mailbox. (Unfortunately, this all happened
before I could get a copy of his diagram and letter… sad!)
We completely forgot about this letter until this past
Friday when we received a large manila envelope in the mail from THE WHITE
HOUSE.
Sadly, there was no mention of flying pigs in the letter
from Obama.
But… Micah was thrilled that he received a letter and a picture
of the White House, the President and (most importantly), Bo Obama (the family
dog).
How would you tie this story into our adoption and our need
for donations? I’d love to read
your ideas/comments below…
Wow that is so cool. What did it say in the letter? Micah is such a funny kid. I miss your family. I really hope that the fundraising is going good I'll be praying and fasting for you guys.
ReplyDeleteIt was a standard letter about educating yourself and working hard to reach your goals. Nothing too profound (albeit important encouragement). Thank you so much Charity! I love and miss you too!
ReplyDeleteI think the "tie in" is that Micah doesn't ever take NO for an answer and therefore you will meet your goal of bringing your three other children to your family! Your family is not taking NO for an answer regarding Albina, Alina and Maks. He learned anything is possible from you Shelly! :). I've been following your blog and we will be praying and fasting for ALL your family!
ReplyDeleteShannon, I love this idea and appreciate your kind words. However, I do think that perhaps you give me too much credit. Thank you so much for praying and fasting for our family. Lots of love to you and your family!
