But even if you emailed a letter the same size as the blog post you just wrote, your child would be thrilled. I will be praying that God gives you the time to develop that relationship with your kids. </p> Becky – I know how hard it can be to write.

Their smiles tell stories beyond our belief and amazement. I can’t tell you how many blogs I have come across all supporting Compassion and sometimes I feel that I am being taken to these sites for a reason. My husband and I have been toying around with the idea of turning off our satellite and now I think I may know why that has been bugging me so much! </p> <p> Thank you for sharing this story and the wonderful pictures! </p> <p> Many Blessings, <br /> Tyra Spain </p> What an amazing post this is.
