Several days this month, I will be posting something Orphan/Adoption related to bring awareness! Most people think they can NOT make an impact on such a huge global crisis, but WE CAN, and it starts with YOU!! (and me!)
What can you do TODAY with your family, or by yourself?
# 1: Pray for an adoptable orphan BY NAME, for God to find them a forever family! Don't know any by name? Go here to find out: http://www.heartgallerytexas.com/portraits/299.htm
# 2: Watch an adoption video with your family!!! (have a kleenex or 2 on hand :) Here is one that went through a local agency (our agency too... Gladney Center for Adoption)

Here's another video (a shorter one) ... for those more interested in Open Domestic Adoption stories...

What an incredible example it is for us to help open our children's eyes to the need that exists, the children that have no family or home. Just talking about the orphan will teach COMPASSION, and will lead to conversations about the Gospel and how God has adopted US into His family upon receiving/accepting Jesus as our Savior. It will broaden their world view and possibly help them value family in a real way. Our conversations NOW will begin to make a positive global impact/difference for years to come!!!
