Early this morning I packed up a very special box. I lovingly taped it up and said goodbye to hours and hours of work. I carefully wrote down the name of someone who has quickly become one of the greatest people I know. The kids said their goodbyes as I set the box by the door.
And with great joy I tell you that these little guys are on their way to Washington state. Once there they will be packed into the suitcase of my dear friend Nina, who is graciously taking them to Eastern Europe with her. Nina is our case worker for our adoption. She is amazing. Not a day goes by that this woman isn't working - even when she's supposed to be "off". (We got the email that we had been officially matched with Miah at 6 AM her time. I don't think she sleeps!) And now she's offered to make room in her suitcase for my owls.
Once they are packed the owls will board a plane and be on their way to Eastern Europe. More specifically, to Miah's country. They will leave Nina's hands and be given to a woman who can deliver them to Miah's orphanage. We're praying they will then make their way into the arms of the children who need them most right now.
A little bit of light in a very lonely place. How I pray God will use them to bring joy to a few sweet kids who need to know they're loved.
