Of course, the passport office is closed today and tomorrow, so we will pick it up on Monday around noon probably. Depending on the timing, we most likely will spring him outta of the orphanage Monday right after his afternoon nap and head straight to the train station. I would have loved to have had "Gotcha Day" today or tomorrow, but the orphanage "powers" are not in on the weekend to sign off on paperwork, which I don't even have anyway.
I'll leave you with part of an email my dear, wise husband shared with me this morning. I pray you all have a wonderful Christmas, celebrating the birth of Christ our Lord.
"Remember the joy of the season is not the gifts we receive under the tree or the holiday feasts that we attend, but it is the joy of the new born baby, Christ the Lord. And where God has placed us this year is half way around the world from each other, but with Him there with each of us, I know he has exactly where He wanted us to be, doing the things that are very important to Him and that which glorifies Him."
