Yesterday I was at the lumber yard waiting for some materials. In a corner of the yard there was a man building a small wooden box. I tried to imagined what this little box was going to be used for. When he was halfway finshed with the lid I realized what he was making...
...A coffin...
A little coffin. It broke my heart. No coffin should be that small.
...No coffin should be that small...

No, Jeremy, it should not be... And little innocent children should not be living on the streets and sniffing glue to escape the pain of their existence. So many things should not be. But God is going to right the wrongs! I think of the story of the boy on the beach tossing the beached starfish back into the ocean. And the comment was made, "There are so many, do you really think it matters or makes a difference?" And the little boys said as he tossed another into the water, "It did for that one." You can't save all the babies and children but you are making a difference for many by being there and building homes for these little ones. May God bring the perfect "Moms and Dads" for them. I love you, Mom
