This is their story… amazingly taken from a hopeless situation and placed in a home that has not only been a blessing for him, but a needed blessing for the others in the home. We learned that our role in these kids’ lives may not be one that is permanent, but God’s presence is. We still have contact with our first little guy. Every time we see him, his family thanks us for the loving start he had to his life. Roll forward 9 years and we guy, whom we had loved on for 13 months, go back to his birth mother.

For others, it is something to look forward to with hope, but for some, it is something that is never found. Three sibling groups were able to experience “home” recently. One sibling group of two sisters and one brother were reunited with their parents and were so excited to be back home. Unfortunately, a month after they returned home, their mother was killed in car wreck. Home for these children will never be the same so please keep this family in your prayers. Our hearts grieve for these precious children. One sibling group, two brothers and one sister, were able to be reunited with their mother. Although they were sad to leave the family who had cared for them and given them a sense of stability, love, and protection, they were so excited to be able to go home and be with their mother. Thanks to the many donations that have been provided, the family van was not only loaded with the children’s belongings in their new luggage, but with fresh fruit, cereal, juice, and other items to help the family with their transition. We wish them God’s blessings. Another sibling group, a brother and sister, were Intern, Mark Grubb, looks on as children officially adopted prepare to leave. by their foster family. The only home they have really ever known is now their “forever home”, where they will experience the love, support, and stability that every child deserves. We are so thankful for everyone involved in their adoption process and we are especially thankful for the family who opened their home and their hearts to these two precious children. What an incredible blessing! LOCAL AUTHOR HELPS CHILDREN He’s small, brown, has flat feet and a big mouth. His name is Personal Toad, and, through an educational children’s book written by Searcy author Jason A. Marzewski, Personal Toad will meets his best friend, Chicken. The book, entitled Personal Toad Meets His Forever-Friend, is Marzewski’s first published book, but he has strategically developed his story to help educate children as they read or hear it. “Personal Toad and Chicken stories delight and entertain young readers, yet are intended to help children build and maintain their vocabularies as they discover the meanings of the underlined words that are sprinkled throughout the narrative, which are then clearly defined in Personal Toad and Chicken’s Little Brown Dictionary - the ‘book within a book’ - featured at the end of each story,” Marzewski notes. “In an effort to help needy children and those www.searcychildrenshomes.org who selflessly care for them, a percentage from the sale of each and every Personal Toad Meets His Forever-Friend book will be donated to Searcy Children’s Homes, Inc.,” Marzewski affirms. “I am humbled that God is allowing me to assist Taryn and Jeffrey Sheets and the Searcy Children’s Homes, Inc., staff in this capacity.” Marzewski lives in Searcy, Arkansas with his wife, Tisha, three dogs, and two cats, and owns JAM Designs, his free-lance graphic design and advertising business.

On Saturday, April 4, 2009, those discussions became a reality. Thanks to the hard work of Phil and Kandi Tobin, their daughters, and a host of many volunteers, The Sharing Shoppe opened up for its first day of business. The shop is located at 110 N. Spring Street, just southeast of the court house. The Sharing Shoppe is open Monday – Friday from 1:00-5:00 and Saturday from 10:00 – 2:00. Donations of gently used furniture, home décor, household items, etc. are accepted during those times. All of the proceeds benefit Searcy Children’s Homes. www.searcychildrenshomes.org SAVE THE DATE! Please mark these dates and plan to participate! SEEDS OF HOPE SUNDAY AND OPEN HOUSE Seeds of Hope Sunday is our major annual fundraising effort each year to help provide services to children and their families, foster families, and adoptive families. All congregations are encouraged to participate in Seeds of Hope Sunday in December 2009.
