BUT thankfully, this experience has taught me that nothing is about what I wanted. What I wanted was serving me alone, what I wanted was thinking of myself and my husband alone. Now I am filled with a passion for what God wants and serving Christ alone :)
I do want to start giving back to the orphan, fatherless, poor because it is spelled out in scripture that we should do so. God does not say it is optional... He demands it.
Even if R and I do not adopt I still want to give to this ministry in other ways. There are so many ways to give that do not have to include money:
- Pray for them.
- Give your time. Volunteer.
- Mentor a child in need.
- Give financially
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12
Do not take advantage of a widow or an orphan. Exodus 22:22
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
