NATIONAL ADOPTION DAY NOV. 22, 2014
Why do we need an "Adoption Day?"
- To celebrate families who have grown their families through the adoption of a child.
- To remind people of the millions of children still waiting in foster care and institutions worldwide.
- Those who were without families now have families to call their own.
- Families are given the privilege of sharing God's heart for the orphan.
- We share our stories: the good and the bad.
- We encourage those on the journey of adoption.
In the New Testament Jesus is often heard to say truly, truly... or verily, verily... He does this to emphasize that something he is saying is very important. He is telling us to pay attention and listen up.
When I talk to individuals about adoption, I want to say these same words.
Truly, truly.... there are millions of children in need of families
Truly, truly.... they don't care how old you are, what color your skin is, how much you make or what kind of home you live in.
Truly, truly..... families just like you: those with fears and doubts, trust God and begin the journey not knowing how the end will turn out.
Truly, truly... God cares for the orphan and is using Christians everywhere to bring his children HOME!
Pay attention....... Listen up........ Open your eyes...... And your hearts.....
BE THE ONE
