The Popcorn Theory

It's been a few days since posting.  My family and I have enjoyed a wonderful Christmas...or a few Christmas's:), with family.

I happened to pick up a book called, "In a Heartbeat", by Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy.  It is so perfect for exactly what I have been talking about.  The 'Popcorn Theory', is Sean Tuohy's theory in this book.  Have you all seen 'The Blind Side'?   'The Blind Side' is about Sean and Leigh Anne's life, and this book is the story told from their perspective.

Inside the book is dedicated to:  "All the children fighting to survive in the invisible cracks in our society, we see you."


THE POPCORN THEORY
"You can't help everyone.  But you can try to help the hot ones that pop up in front of your face."

So this thought is something I'm going to propose.  So if something, for instance this blog, pops up in front of your face, what can you do?
Well let's keep things simple here.  I'm going to recommend taking a moment to pray.  Pray for these kids.  Pray for the foster and birth family's.  Then ask God Himself if He wants you to do anything more right now.  He will open your heart or open doors if you are to do anything more.  But prayer IS doing something.  So thank you for praying.  Thank you soooo  much for praying.  By praying you are helping open doors for these kids.  You might even be causing one of these hot kernels to pop up in front of the right face:)
