From 1 John 4:7: “Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.”
Vulnerable and broken
Young lives scattering like chaff
Fractured, alone in darkness
Story needs new paragraph
Emulating Jesus’ love
Family opens their home
One lost child, then another
Spirit reaches out, love roams
Called by Christ, door swings open
Wrapping His love around each
Two daughters bond as sisters
New lessons waken to teach
Family’s love grows daily
Centered around faith and trust
Christ’s joy filling each new page
Four lives together, robust
Future looking brighter now
Surrounded by parents’ love
Sisters linking together
Jesus smiles from above
In the United States, the month of November recognizes the significance of adoption. When a family reaches out to provide foster care for a deserving child, this is one of life’s most unselfish, blessed tasks. As in the case of our family, this story opens life’s new chapter for our granddaughters, both adopted into our family.
