As we start this long, rough journey it often helps to have some words of wisdom to help remind us why we are taking this route and to reassure us that we have made the right decision. They have been gathered from various places...
- Psalm 68:5, "A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows, is God in His holy habitation."
-James 1:27, "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress."
-Isaiah 1:17, "Learn to do good; seek justice, reprove the ruthless, Defend the orphan, plead for the widow."
-Matthew 18:5, "Whoever receives a child in My name, receives Me."
-"For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of Him." -1 Samuel 1:27
-"Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, 'Give them up!' and to the south, 'Do not hold them back.' Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth- everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made." - Isaiah 43: 5-7
-"I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and just because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something I can do." -Edward Everett Hale
-"We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life, but those who make their journey home across time and miles, growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them, are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands." -Anonymous
-"But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, be patient! For it will surely take place. It will not be late by a single day." Habakkuk 2:3
I would not call your blog lame. It will be fun to watch your journey through life and adoption. Blessings! ALicia
