Memories

Today was really the same as the last several days.  We are so ready to be done and go home with our children.  Although that is not meant to be at the moment, time will fly and this time here will be just a memory.  

We are so thankful to be staying in a nice, clean hotel with people that have been so kind and patient.  We are thankful to have warm water no matter what time of day it is.   There is a restaurant attached to this hotel that serves great food at an affordable price.  This we are thankful for because if this restaurant were not here we would have to walk about 40 minutes one-way to get to a restaurant in Berdychiv.   We are thankful that the orphanage is close enough to walk to and we don’t have to take a taxi twice a day.  We are thankful for the children we have met at the orphanage that have truly changed us.  We are thankful for a little boy who always has the biggest smile for us every day when we get there to see him.  But most importantly we are thankful for God because only He could have come before us and prepared all of this for us.
