until you hold them in your arms.
until you see them with your own eyes.
until they cry on your shoulder over the abuse they have
suffered in their short life.
until you hear their laughter.
until they share with you how they went to bed and their
belly hurt so bad because they were hungry.
Over 147 million orphans will go to sleep tonight ignored by so many! Which makes me think, WHY?? Why did we wait so long to react to God's prodding to do something? We are changed people, Abby has touched our lives and opened our eyes to the needs of others. It is so easy to sit in our warm houses, that are full of food, love and family and do nothing! But then, when your eyes are opened to the orphan you will never be the same! We praise God for bringing Abby to us, she has changed us and I hope we are never the same. Abby did not grow in my belly, but God allowed her to grow in our hearts. She is OURS, as if I had given birth to her!
Orphans are easier to ignore...
until they hold your face in their sweet, little hands and say,
"I love you, Mommy"!
