Why do they have to wait?

So many children are out there..some in situations better than others. We are in the middle of our busy lives, worrying about our schedules, cable bills and cell phones, the latest technology, how we look, what we drive and if we measure up to those around us...meanwhile, these kids are in need of family. It is SO easy to close our eyes and steer clear of the need--if we don't look, it doesn't affect us--trust me, I have been there...it is so easy to keep it just out of our mind's reach. But, these are innocent children...they need love, food, care and nurturing...someone to kiss the hurts away and give them loving 'mommy and daddy' attention. They deserve to laugh and be carefree-to enjoy being children....but for many, every month and year that passes, the more unlikely it is that they will be adopted, more unlikely that anyone will look at their file and actually consider them. I pray that as word gets out about these kids, people will be convicted to honestly look at their lives and evaluate if they would be open to adoption. What is God calling you to do in a child's life??? We don't want to face it.....SO THEY WAIT....

"Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act." Proverbs 24:12
