- 3/29/2007 7:29:12 AMDay 7 - Thursday - Another Quiet MorningThis morning looked like it was going to be another quiet morning alone. I enjoyed yesterday morning but already I was missing the usual time with the kids eating breakfast, reading the bible and enjoying the time together. I didn't know who was going to get up so I made the usual amount of oatmeal. I filled 5 bowls - one for me and one for Megan, James, Ellie and Yuri. Shortly after I ate and read, Megan got up.
We began to talk about what kinds of things people think are important and what we thought were. "Some people are blind", I said. As I spoke the words, I felt conviction. I was not blind in regards to Yuri, his needs or the needs of any orphan. I contemplated making a decision regarding him and because I knew what was expected of me, I could not plead "I didn't know...". I said to Megan, "sometimes people think some things are important that really aren't".
