Beautiful, Like a Rainbow

I received a nice surprise today - pictures of LT with the care package I sent to her through a traveling family. Thank you so much to Britlee and Christy for sending me pics while they traveled to pick up their loves. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the updates. And speaking of updates, let me review...

-Got the CALL right before Christmas

-Got her first update on Ethiopian Christmas

-Received word about her court date on MLK weekend

-Got pics of her with her first care package on Inauguration Day

-Her Bday is the day before St. Patricks Day

-Her Court Date, March 31, is a day before my Bday April Fools Day

-And with fingers and toes crossed, I will be traveling to pick her up around Easter. Plus her name means to make clean and Easter is all about washing away sins.

OK, I'm just saying................................it's all feeling so very special.

I'm not allowed to post her pics or name until I pass court but I can offer you this song lyric, which has been in mind all day as I view her beautiful little face.

I see your true colors

and that's why I love you

so don't be afraid to let them show

your true colors

true colors are beautiful

like a rainbow

I can't wait to see the miraculous signs of how you were clearly destined to be together, as mommy & daughter =) Now won't that be fun to witness! I love our little so cal group. We feel so fortunate.; January 24, 2009 at 9:33 PM

Flag Meaning:

The colored stripes on the Ethiopian flag are significant - the red stripe stands for power, faith and blood; the yellow symbolizes peace, natural wealth and love; and the green represents the land and hope. The colors were also interpreted to have a connection to the Holy Trinity, and the three main provinces of Ethiopia. The star represents unity of the people and the races that make up Ethiopia. The five rays on the outside of the star represent prosperity and the blue disk represents peace.
The three equal horizontal bands of green (top), yellow, and red with a yellow pentagram and single yellow rays emanating from the angles between the points on a light blue disk centered on the three bands; Ethiopia is the oldest independent country in Africa, and the three main colors of her flag were so often adopted by other African countries upon independence that they became known as the pan-African colors.
