“Mama! Maaaaamaaa! Maaama!
I smile as I
hear my little niece’s voice squealing for her mama. It was bedtime
but Blessing was strongly protesting the fact that she had to lie down.
As I listened to her continual squawking, my thoughts turned towards the
orphans of the world. My heart breaks as I think of all those little
ones who are crying out for a different reason tonight. I bleed for those
precious children.
I often think of the stories I’ve heard and the things
I’ve seen about orphans. Though I’m home and can no longer be hands on
with them, I have by no means forgotten them. Seldom a day goes by when I
do not think of them. My heart
cries out against the injustices and pain they face. There is NO reason a child should suffer the way they do. It makes me sick to my
stomach to think of what they go through.
Tonight my
little niece goes to bed with a full belly, her thirst satisfied with
clean water. She sleeps in a warm bed. She's sheltered, loved, and protected.
She’s healthy and secure in this family who adores her and seeks to take
care of her. Does not every child deserve the same?? Do they not all wish for that??Each one has a dream and each dream includes being loved and secure.
We might not all be able to adopt or fly somewhere to take care of an orphan, but we can ALL be doing something to help. We can pray!
I beseech you tonight, DO NOT FORGET THE WORLD’S ORPHANS! Pray for them,
please. Even if you can’t do anything else, pray!! Do not forget
them.
“Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;
maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.”
Psalm 82:3
"For the glory of God!"
