I just got finished reading a blog that I follow and I have not felt so moved in my life by someone else's selflessness or charity. This family has three natural born children and if I'm correct five adopted children from Russia, China, and Africa. Just from the goodness of their hearts. Not because they are going to receive government funding or because they want something, but because these children needed homes and love. I am not sure that I could give that kind of love. I mean of course I could provide a home to someone and all the care and love that I could, but to love another child who has partially grown up alone and love them the way I would my own child would be something so different I wouldn't know how to react.
Generally I want to show this type of love and selflessness to everyone and to continue to grow in my own life to be the type of person that a young girl will one day blog about and be in awe about. My heart goes out to this family that I've never met before and just so happened to stumble upon.
