I will not leave you as orphans. I will come for you...John 14:18
This is a sweet reminiscence of our adoption journey to our son.

Where is the love?

 I was a women on a mission! I was gong hoe! I was so certain that I could fulfill my plan. I thought the people in our area were warm, kind, giving people. 
I hit a snag on that trail and landed flat on my face! I have basically been told by certain people that all donations should be given locally and that it is WRONG to be sending them to China. 
Again, I ask, Where is the love? Are not all children Gods Children? 
My heart was broke.
I have had to step back and realize it's okay that they didn't agree with me. It's okay that they may even be mad at me. I'm sure they are good people they just could not see the whole picture. Only with God can you see the whole picture. 
Does that mean I think I'm perfect? Absolutely Not! I am not perfect. I am not amazing. (Although it is nice to hear.lol) I'M NOT. I am the least perfect person! My car needs washed. I have loads of laundry that I should be doing instead of typing this. I need to lose weight. I need to quit drinking pop. We struggle to get to church. and Please forgive me, because for a few seconds when it sunk in what that women was telling me the "B" word passed through my head. Thank goodness it stayed in my head. 
I have had to learn this...
"The more you love your decisions, the less you need others to love them." Winston Churchhill
On that note it is "Orphan Sunday" this Sunday. Please be aware of God's little ones.

This is god's Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world 
James 1:27
