Week in Review 9/30/12 – The 2012 Heritage of Hope Costume Ball

Last Saturday we hosted the first Heritage of Hope Costume Ball.

This ball was to help us raise funds for the adoptions of our 3 children we have been caring for for the last 8 months.

It was a GREAT SUCCESS!

We had about 250-300 people.

We saw so many friends that we have not seen in a while…

and met many, many new friends!

This ball was packed with so much emotion for us,

not just the fact of raising funds for our adoptions,

but it was at a similar ball we hosted 2 years ago,

in this very building that Emma and Josh actually met.

Josh was out of town this past week and we didn’t expect to be able to see him again until Thanksgiving, but he made a SURPRISE appearance!

This was our 5th ball that we’ve hosted. What I love most is that they are family events.

It is a wholesome way for families and especially young people to get to meet others and have a great time! And I really love when the fathers dance with their daughters!

Thank you to everyone who came out to support this event! Our hope is to host one ball a year to help fund adoptions for other families.

Titus 2:3 says that we are to be "...teachers of good things...". We believe that part of these good things are practical skills that we all need in every day life to care for our family and neighbors. One of our primary responsibilities as parents is equip our children with the skills and tools to one day be productive, well rounded adults. Children need to be exposed to many different areas of work. Not only should they know how to work, but they should want to work. May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us- yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17
