Okay, we've all seen it: "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" (If you haven't ever seen it, leave your computer right now and run, don't walk, to your nearest video store and rent it!)
Anyway, the Grinch has a heart that is 2 sizes too small. Well, I have a couple of friends whose hearts are 5 sizes too big! Well, "too big" is deceptive because it sounds negative. Let's just say their hearts are bigger than the average person's!
You see, my friends' have adopted 5 sisters. Yes, you read that right! F-I-V-E five! Five sisters who range in age from 4 to 10! No, they are not crazy (as my husband claims every time he sees them all come flying out of their van or any time they come up in the conversation at home!) They just have a lot of room in their hearts.
I also think they have a lot of faith! It is a HUGE step to go from being a couple to having an instant family. It's hard enough when you give birth to a baby and then "grow" together as a family. But to bring 5 children permanently into your life? FAITH! FAITH! FAITH! It takes faith that the Lord will provide a house large enough, a vehicle large enough, a paycheck large enough...you get the picture!
Are their hearts 5 sizes too big? Or is their faith just the right size? (or are they just plain crazy as James thinks?) Feel free to decide for yourself!

Nope they are definitely nuts!!!And this is coming from the horse's mouth! Because after the first week of school for all five which was supposed to be a vaction for Mom and Dad, Mom is more tired than before and sick with all the new funk coming home. We have faith but please keep us in your PRAYERS!
