Adopted

We were walking out the door to go to church last night.  Ella and the preschool/elementary choirs were singing for special music.  We had a special Adoption Service.  WOW!  Many families spoke of adoption of an international child.  We know several families that have done this.  The story of their journey is incredible.  Jimmie spoke last night.  His message was not only adoption of a child but how God has adopted us into his family.  It is amazing how orphans and us have the same 4 examples

1.  leaning on other families to adopt them - we lean on God to adopt us

2.  unable to generate HOPE - God gives us the HOPE

3.  reliant on someone else - we are reliant on God

4.  inherit all rights of the family - we inherit all the rights once we accept God

God gives us adoption as a living breathing example so we can see it everyday.

Thanks to the families who shared their journeys

Thanks to the families who share their adopted children with us to see them grow

Jesus loves the little children

All the children of the world

Red and Yellow, Black and White

They are precious in His sight

Jesus loves the little children of the world

Pray for the orphan, their forever families and those families who have a tugging in their hearts
