We opened our service time with a prayer that included the above verse. God has a special place 
in his heart for widows, as well as those who cannot care for themselves. For our service project we visited "The Court", a resident home in Overland Park, KS for those with memory impairment and challenges. The residents are so sweet. Many of them we know are Christians as they may not remember their family members or what they ate for breakfast, but when you ask them to sing a Bible song or quote scripture, it just comes pouring out. It was so sweet as our children sang "Jesus Loves Me" to 
them and most of them joined in!Since the Activity Leader of the home knew that 4 of our children are adopted from other countries, we shared their stories with the residents too. We only stayed an hour or so, but several were so sad to let us go and asked when we would be back. We WILL go back there for another project! It was SO sweet sharing our treats and the love of Jesus with them and we desire for our children to see that NO LIFE is unimportant or wasted in the eyes of God. Happy Thanksgiving!!
