Why can't we?

Today in the middle of  Wal-Mart, we were talking about not wanting things and asking for so many things (you know the standard mom-child conversation).  We have so much and others don't have what we do.  It's a basic life-lesson, but an important one.  I talked about that being one of the reasons we want to bring our new little sister home, so she can have what she needs and enjoy the things we do.  Drew agreed saying, "everyone should have good fruits and vegetables".  :) 
A few aisles down, Drew wanted to know if we could "just get all the kids who need a home when we go get her, because the other kids will be sad, so can't we just get all of them?"

In my mind... there's no good answer for that.
I know, Drew. "Why can't we?"

I did answer.  The best answer I have.
That's why so many people help, and why so many people adopt.
God uses all of us.

I have normal kids, who still continued the trip asking for popcorn chicken, pickles and mini pancakes.  But their hearts are changing...growing, just like mine.  More and more of each day takes on a new perspective.
Transforming Love.  We are seeing it in all areas of our life and family.  Only true Love does that.
