God sets the lonely in families: Waiting for them

Waiting for them

I spend my days surrounded by people. Never alone, but yet still lonely.

Even though there are always people with me, I somehow sense that they do not belong to me. I do not belong to them. We're just here. Waiting together.

I can't put it into words, but something in me longs to belong to someone. Longs for someone who belongs to me. Even though I don't even understand what a family is....I'm still waiting. Waiting for them to come. To take me home. To love me, take care of me, teach me things. To give me a chance. To give me a real life.

I hope I won't have to wait too long.

The orphan crisis: what can we do to help?

Learn about struggles of orphaned children then share what you learn with others.

Pray. Ask for the Lord's protection and provision for these little ones. Pray for them to be rescued. Pray for families who are adopting. Pray for the governments of the countries where they reside. Pray for the people devoting their time and energy to finding families and for those who visit the orphanages and minister to the orphans.

Adopt. Open your heart and your home to a child in need of a family. One statistic I read said that if 6-7% of Christians would adopt that would provide homes for all of the adoptable orphans. I don't know if that statistic is accurate. Look into it and see what you learn.

Advocate. Pick a child and hold them up for the world to see. Share pictures and any information you can get. Let everyone see that this child is a real child who needs a real family. Raise funds for the child's adoption.

Support. Put money into child grants on Reece's Rainbow. Give to an adopting family. Sponsor an orphan. Support missionaries who visit orphans and show them the love of Christ.
