Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Happy 9th Birthday Caleb!!!

Caleb is 9 years old today!!This is our referral picture of Caleb July 2005 Monrovia, Liberia
Did you ever wonder what it would feel like to travel across the world with a stranger and be placed in the hands of your new family that looked and sounded very different from yourself?
If you look at Caleb's face here you can see what it looks like!
