New Beginnings

    

       "May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance." 2 Thes. 3:5

My oldest son was married last week and I spent a lot of time thinking about parenting him and how quickly the time went by. It seems but a few years since he was in little league, or sitting at our table learning his multiplication. Everyone told me that the time would go too quickly and I tried to heed their advice and enjoy every moment. I have no regrets as he begins his new life with his bride.

I say this because when some people think about adoption they think that they are too old or have waited too long to begin with another child and I want to remind them how quickly the years go by. There are many older children waiting for a family; children who are 8, 10 or older.  They only have a short time left before they will be adults, and right now they don't have anyone to show them what having a family means.

If you are reading this and feel God nudging your heart, take the next step. Search the web for an adoption agency and begin asking questions or go to rainbowkids.com or adoptuskids.org and look at the list of children who are waiting for a family.
