All About Kate
Poem from No Hands but Ours Website
Lord Christ,
You have no body on earth but ours,
No hands but ours,
No feet but ours.
Ours are the eyes through
which compassion must
look out on the world.
Ours are the feet by which you
may still go about doing good.
Ours are the hands with which
You bless people now.
Bless our minds and bodies,
That we may be a blessing to others.
St. Theresa of Avila

Awesome photo! We are planning to take our 4 year old on our adoption trip this fall so that picture gives me hope. Safe travels...can't wait to follow your journey.
ReplyDeleteYou will love Beijing. And it is so great to have some special time before you become a family of four. I know our boys enjoyed the time before Grace with just Mom and Dad. We are all excited to follow along on your journey!! Praying for you all.
