Is that not the cutest face you have ever seen?

I have committed to praying that this little guy finds a forever family and fundraising for his adoption fund this month.

The Bible has a lot to say about caring for widows and orphans…to my count, this mandate is mentioned at least 47 times in Scripture.

Verses like these move my heart:

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress… James 1:27

A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families…Psalm 68:5-6

Adoption is God’s plan. And, I will be devoting each Wednesday for the next few weeks to talking about the ministry of Reece’s Rainbow and how they assist helpless children find forever families.

How can you help?

Pray for their ministry.
Donate to Blake’s adoption fund {there is a chip-in widget on my side bar}.
Research adoption needs/issues.

Heavenly Father, I come to you with my heart broken for the plight of orphans, particularly sweet little Blake and others like him, who are considered worthless and a punishment from you because they have developmental delays. Please be with Blake. Keep him safe, healthy and warm and bring his forever family to him soon. Any part that my readers and I can play in that, reveal to us and soften our hearts towards. In Jesus Holy Name, Amen.

Thankful Thursday- praise

Today’s theme for Thankful Thursday is praise. It is almost like Iris at Grace Alone knew what was on my mind. God is so good!
I am thankful for a patient God. I can’t even count how many times in one week, let alone a lifetime, that I mess up. And they are not new sins or new issues. No, I continue to do the things I know I shouldn’t, the things I have been convicted I need to change. Yet, God doesn’t lose interest in me. His heart doesn’t change, just my fickle mind and emotions. I am so thankful that we serve a God that is the same yesterday, today and forever. I need that stability in my life!
Romans 12 encourages us to live our lives as a living sacrafice. I think there is no greater act of praise than living every day, every moment for the glory of the One who never gives up on us, who always has His arms open to comfort, His Spirit ready to remind us of the right path and discipline us when we veer off course, who has the greater good in mind when deciding what trials and challenges we face, who promises to never leave us or forsake us. I give everlasting praise during the good times and the bad. I praise the Lord for every circumstance, every opportunity and every day I have on this earth and the promise of eternal life with Him when all this shall pass.
I am thankful for this awesome God we serve and that so many years ago He thought enough of me (and you, and you, and you…) to send His only son to a cave in Bethlehem.
Merry Christmas, folks!
