Blessed Treasures

A verse made clear to us as we found out about our daughter's health: Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy. Matthew 6:19-20 Our promise to God: We will show God's love to orphans for as long as we live on this earth. Thank you for this calling.

I Would Gather Children

Some would gather money
Along the path of life
Some would gather roses,
And rest from strife.
But I would gather children
From among the thorns of sin,
I would seek a golden curl,
And a freckled, toothless grin.
For money cannot enter
In the land of endless day,
And roses that are gathered
Soon will wilt along the way.
But oh, the laughing children,
As I cross the sunset sea,
And the gates swing wide to heaven,
I can take them in with me!
