Bill and I were interviewed and filmed for a benefit concert our church's orphan ministry is having. While Bill was talking during the filming, God brought the following thought to my mind.
Our girls were listed with some special needs after their names. A list of things that they can do and things they struggle with. After we got more information on them, along with the "list" were codes, numbers related to their developmental and physical delays and needs.
While filming, the thought came to me. Most people seeing their "write ups" would see them as sweet girls with a list of special needs. But the only special need God sees is the need for a family. A family in which they will be treasured for who they are---girls fearfully and wonderfully made, made in the image of their Creator. A family in which they will understand a father and mother's love so that they can understand their Heavenly Father's love. A family that will love them just the way they are, regardless of whatever lists follow their names. A family who realizes that we all have our lists---our lists of struggles, sins, and things to work on improving.
We are so thankful we can fill that special need for a family for our sweet girls! Please pray that our paperwork will be done quickly!
