The Lord Loves To Delight Us!!

I am always amazed at how the Lord continues to delight us! I think He loves to love us! :o) I had been trying to decide what to do about a coat for Karleigh Mei. Should I bring her one? What if she had one on...I wouldn't want to take that away from her...and it might be bulky to try and pack. What if I didn't bring her one and she didn't have one?? And if she didn't have one, what if it's very, very cold and we don't have time to go and buy her one right away? Okay...so you see my dilemma? I decided that I would have one SENT to her...and that way I would know for sure she HAD one. I emailed Angela from Ladybugs and Love and she said she could do it. Angela is just awesome! What a blessing she has been to our family! She went shopping for a coat for our darling girl in Beijing and also got her some pretty fancy pants too! She mailed it to her orphanage, along with a note from us. When Angela sent me a picture of what she bought, I was just so happy!! You see...I have been a bit "Hello Kitty" crazy ever since I saw a "Hello Kitty" on a shirt that Karleigh Mei was wearing in a picture. And from her birthday pictures my mom saw "Mickey Mouse" on the walls and went out and bought her a "Minnie Mouse" stuffed doll. I just KNOW that the Lord directed Angela to the "Hello Kitty" coat and the "Minnie Mouse" jeans!!

Thank you Father for delighting us in the simple things!!

We were thrilled with our encounters with Angela too! I love the coat she picked out for Karleigh Mei! Looking forward to your pictures of her wearing it while you are there...

What a wonderful idea Jenn. I am so going to do this also. I just wrote Angela again. The coat I bought for her here will take up a lot of room. Great Idea and she will always have the jacket from China.

Oh, how sweet is THAT? I'm glad you went ahead and ordered one. One extra coat- great. No coat at all- not so great! :) She will look precious in it, and I'm sure she'll adore the Hello Kitty on it!
