Need Prayers & your help to make life easier (edited

Thanks for the updates, of course.

I enjoy this song...Let Them Be Little, now out by country singer Billy Dean; heard first by Lonestar.

Here are the lyrics and they fit the commitment that should be made for these girls....forced to grow up so fast through no fault of their own...

I think of it tonight in terms of a prayer. The lyrics are....

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand
Felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute
How it amazes me, you're changing with every blink
Faster than a flower blooms they grow up all too soon

So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

I've never felt so much in one little tender touch
I live for those kisses, prayers and your wishes
Now that you're teaching me things only a child can see
Every night while we're on our knees all I ask is please

Let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

So innocent, a precious soul, you turn around
It's time to let them go

So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

Let them be little

that is beautiful! thanks for posting - just made me cry again!
i have shed more tears this week than i have in years.
the innocence of these children has been stripped from them by so much misfortune. That is why i am determined that i have got to do all that i can to help them be able to recapture what little childhood they have left.
Through everyones prayers and help it can be done.
their hearts are all broken, they have no home of their own and no parents to speak of. yet they have a courage and hope that things will get better. And we all must help them so things can.

Good news! It was on our local channel 5 news tonight. Tim Malloy the reporter did a beautiful job. It was sensitive yet effective as well. We recieved about 30 calls and my voice mail filled up. Am hoping they will have it up on their site tomorrow for those that didn't catch the # and didn't get through. He has promised to follow up as well. wish you guys could have seen it. it started with the girls faces, then showed homes with their lights up and then said but there is one house on this street that is dark and showed their burned home. a beautiful lead in.

thanks for everyones prayers. they are working!

guys - it has been unbelievable! there are 3 builders wanting to rebuild their home for them. there is another group that is wanting to help her with the rest of her tuition. and a nother one wanting to help her with dental school!! this has been so uplifting. there have been so many other offers for sending gift certificates, money, gorceries. etc.
This community has pulled together like i have never seen it.
noone can give the girls what they want most, which is their parents here and well, but the love this community is sending them along with their help is going to give them hope for a new tomorrow.
Jessica has to take her last exams on monday for the semester so please keep her in your prayers that she can study and do well.
I can't wait to see her to tell her all the good things that have happened.
I'm going to hold off from telling her everything til she gets back from orlando so she doesn't get too overwhelmed and distracted. I've let her know enough so she should rest easier and hopefully be able to study and get some much needed rest.
will update you as i can.
