Did you know that November is National Adoption Month - As the days pass and we are getting closer to meet our sweet girls my heart leaps inside. I think about what that is going to be like when they are in my arms for the first time, when their tiny hands are in my hand, when I touch their sweet face and tell them, You will never be alone again, I will love you forever, I will hold your heart in mine, I will defend you, I will teach you about the God of the universe and His great love for you, I will tuck you in at night, I will be there in the morning when you wake, I will always love you, I will pick you up when you fall, I will take care of you when you are sick, - You will NEVER be alone again...I can't help but think that this is exactly how God sees us, this is what he says about us, ( I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you ~John 14:18) These sweet girls don't know that we are coming, how could they possibly understand what has happened, but we know, and even though adoption is hard, long, painful, emotionally and financially draining it is a miracle of God. It is exactly what He wants for each of us.
This video shows the heart of adoption, it is redemption....There are 2.1 billion Christians in this world, did you know that if only 6% would adopt that every orphanage would be empty? (get some tissue)
