The least of the least of these…words, pictures below in separate post

Ok so this posting via email doesn't work quite so well. Captions and words and pics don't always line up or get sent together. so here are the words to the  post "Least of the least of these" 

photo 1 These are my girls. Angelina, the cleft baby, who one day will have lips as beautiful as Angelina Jolie! And Minnie, well, the name just fits!

photo 2 She is skin and bones.

photo 3 Minnie fell asleep

photo 4 Check out the size of her arm compared to my finger…and don't miss the PALE color of her skin! She is quite strong in spite of her size!

photo 5 Please pray for sweet Charlotte. She needs surgery,NOW! But they did give her oxygen and an iv today and she looks better.

photo 6 Ray, 25 lbs of love! I don't think he is adoptable.

photo 7 Sky, she is 14 and autistic they think…not adoptable.

photo 8 Cassie, a heart baby.

photo 9 Sydney, 14, very severe, not adoptable. LOVES to hold your hand but cries silent tears sometimes.

photo 10 This child is 5. Not adoptable

photo 11 This little girl bites her hands until they bleed so they tie them behind her back. Not adoptable

photo 12 This is Sadie….she wants to be a cheerleader and practices her splits all the time! Oh so flexible!

photo 13 This is PJ. He never gets off this pot, aka toilet, and shakes his head "no" continually. Not adoptable.

Most of these kids will not ever be adopted because they are truly the least of the least of these. This is just a sampling. Millions more wait around the world to be shown love. We can't adopt them, but can't we all go and show them love? Even if only for a few weeks at a time? Love is NEVER wasted. After all, God is love and He commands us to love….especially those forgotten by the world.

                                                                                   "Kings & Queens"

Little hands, shoeless feet, lonely eyes looking back at me
Will we leave behind the innocent too brief
On their own, on the run when their lives have only begun
These could be our daughters and our sons
And just like a drum I can hear their hearts beating
I know my God won't let them be defeated
Every child has a dream to belong and be loved

[Chorus:]
Boys become kings, girls will be queens
Wrapped in Your majesty 
When we love, when we love the least of these
Then they will be brave and free
Shout your name in victory
When we love when we love the least of these
When we love the least of these

Break our hearts once again
Help us to remember when
We were only children hoping for a friend
Won't you look around these are the lives that the world has forgotten
Waiting for doors of our hearts and our homes to open

[Chorus]

If not us who will be like Jesus
To the least of these
If not us tell me who will be like Jesus
Like Jesus to the least of these

Boys become kings, girls will be queens
Wrapped in your majesty
When we love, when we love the least of these
Then they will be brave and free shout your name in victory
We will love we will love the least of these
We will love the least of these
We will love the least of these
We will love the least of these
We will love the least of these 
We will love the least of these
