Dear 4KIDS Families and Friends,
In a post from June called “A Room Full of Prayer,” we shared with all of you about our devotional and prayer time that happens around the conference table on Wednesday morning:
The Courthouse
The first time I walked down the hall of the third floor at Bexar County Courthouse, it felt like I was in a theater with five or ten screens each playing different movies before me. I caught snatches of covert conversations held between case-workers and CASA volunteers, saw looks full of emotion flash between biological family members and foster parents and listened as attorneys shouted out case names and conferred with their clients.
A Room Full of Prayer
The room smells of coffee, paper and expo markers. The chairs gathered around the table are all shapes and sizes, always changing places as staff members try out new seating arrangements. In the middle of the table is a china blue candle from Bath and Body Works that is lit when the person working at the table just needs a little something to make the day special. This is the place where meetings occur, brainstorming takes place and interviews are held, but more importantly this is the room where prayer happens.
To Be Part Of A Greater Story
There is a tug on all our hearts when we read the story of a hero. We are drawn to the epic of a great heart, full of honest and honorable intentions, striving to make the wrong right and bring justice in a darkened world. As the hero faces close calls, we find ourselves holding our breath. As the heroine defends the vulnerable, we cheer her on. We love these stories. We want to be part of one…
4KIDS Celebrated the Blessing of Moms Over the Weekend
4KIDS celebrated the blessing of moms over the weekend by hosting a Noonday Collection Trunk Show. The "collaboration" was natural because of Noonday's roots in support of adoption. The company partners with artisans in vulnerable parts of the world to create opportunities for women to earn sustainable incomes to help support their families. Saturday, a percentage of the proceeds went to 4KID'S first adoptive family of 2017, the Dishonghs. Thank you Kathy for sharing your story as well as part of Savannah's journey.
