NATIONAL ADOPTION DAY

Today is national adoption day. Today also marks three years that we began this journey - and what a journey it has been!!





Believe it or not the Bible has a lot to say about adoption and infertility.





Look at the story of Moses. The government said that all Hebrew babies were to be killed. But God had a different plan for Moses. How do you think Moses mother came up with the idea to put him in a basket, and float him down the river? And what about Pharoah's daughter? Do you think that maybe she was infertile and wanted a child? God moved on both of these two women's hearts.





And then there is the ultimate adoption. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savoir, God adopts us into His kingdom, and we become heirs to His throne!!





It is just amazing to me that God created women who could not have children to raise a child, and a woman to give birth, but not be able to mother it. It is so hard to comprehend. But I know that neither one is lesser in God's eyes.





God calls us to take care of the ophans. The statistics of children in need of a home is staggering. Please pray for these children. And for those of you waiting to adopt, I am praying for you, that He will give you peace during the wait, and that He would loosen whatever is tying up the process.





I SUPPORT ADOPTION
