I don't know where this came from exactly but this changed the way the Merrick's started thinking....

This won't be me!
Dear Orphan, I saw your photo
today. You are so adorable! You're eyes are so deep and full of hope. I
love your little smile, I know it must be hard some days to find the strength
to smile. I have heard how little food you have, but you are still
willing to share with your friends. What a sweet little person you are!
But, I am writing this letter to tell you that I will not be able to
help you. You see, my family is happy with the life we are living. I
know that we could get bunk beds and you could share a room with one of
our bio kids but really, that is no life for either of you. We have so
much going on around here and life would be just too chaotic. Our
neighbors just got a new TV and game system, we really think we need to
have one too. I have a "ladies night out" next week and I have nothing
to wear. I really need to purchase a new outfit. I guess I could sponsor
you... but, it will have to wait til next month, I really need that new
outfit and my kids are dying for fast food tonight. Good luck to you!
This will not be me....... Lord
I pray you give me the wisdom to do what you would have me to do. I
know you will not lead me down the wrong path, and that whatever I must
do you will be with me all the way. I love you, and thank you for all
you done in my life.
"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it, and it will be yours."-Mark11:22,24
