Orphan Sunday

Today is Orphan Sunday and I can't stop thinking about a certain orphan in China right now.  Today is her birthday.  Today she does not have a family to celebrate her and tell her that she is special and that God has big plans for her.  But this is not where her story ends.  She does have a family she just doesn't know it yet.  She does have a family that longs to tell her how special she is and that God loves her so very much.  She has a family that is working hard to raise the money to bring her home.  A family that is working hard on all of the paperwork that is required.  Soon very soon she will finally find out that it is her turn...her turn for a mommy and daddy.  So today, her birthday, I pray that God is holding her close and whispering to her inmost being that she is special, that she is loved, that someone cares.  I pray that God will continue to hold her close until we can be His hands and feet and do it for Him.
