Even while tears were falling for the loss of our own child, the Lord was speaking to my heart. My babies are in a better place, but what about these children . . .
Those whose homes are ripped apart by sin and devastation . . . . who will cradle them while they cry?
The little ones who have no home to go to . . . . who will tuck them into bed at night?
In countries ravaged with famine, and starving children look up with sunken eyes . . . . who will give them a bit of food?
Those precious babies left all alone in the world . . . . who is there to kiss their soft cheeks?
All those children who have witnessed death and destruction before their very eyes . . . . who will protect them from the terror they behold every day?
The hurting children who suffer tragic abuse . . . . who is there to help heal their wounded spirits?
And those precious, precious little ones who were never given the choice to live . . . . . . . . who will mourn for them?
Their blood cries out, for they are souls too.
Let us not forget the children.

I mourn for them – I’m supporting the new movie Rescued – about caring for orphans and the role of the church – we’re not all called to adoption, but we are all commanded to care for orphans! new follower on fb and gfc 🙂

That’s true. Not everyone can adopt, but I’m so thankful for those who do and would personally love to do it someday……but in the meantime, like you said, we can help those who need it!
Oh, and WELCOME! 🙂

For sure… the needs are amazingly huge, but our God is a HUGE God.
I can’t wait to see RESCUED either, Kelli!
And a note on helping those who are called to adopt/foster— PRAYER! It’s amazing what a “simple” commitment to prayer can do for that family… Tell them you’re praying for them! The hurt is so deep in these children, but to watch JESUS heal them- priceless! Worth it ALL!
Kendra Graber says
Spoken by one who knows……praying for you, my friend.

Thanks for this blogpost! We are in an adoption process right now. It started with our own wish for children, bur more and more we see it from the childs point of view. To be open to a child who wouldn’t have much chances. It’s not that we are so good, but God brought our desires together.
Also, abortion is widespread in our country, so sadly there’s almost no adoption in our own country, sometimes there is fostercare for babies, but most unwanted children are not born. This makes me sad. I pray the Lord will take care of these children.

You’re right, that IS sad. But I’m so thankful for people like you who are willing to open their hearts and homes to little children.
