September 1st Edition
Hello WBFJ Family! What a blessing to share this weeks Wednesday Word with YOU! Over the last month, my family and I have celebrated many special dates regarding the 3 year anniversary of my daughter Lexa's adoption from Kazakhstan. As I reflect on the photos, videos and memories, it's hard to believe so much time has passed since those incredible days.
I clearly remember the awesome Joy of carrying her out of the orphanage doors, knowing that she would never be back again. I remember the feeling of relief as the plane took off from the Almaty airport. Most of all I recall landing at the Greensboro airport and the absolute euphoria as I carried her in my arms towards my awaiting family and friends. Lexa's time as an orphan had a happy ending. Unfortunately, right now, there are millions of children all over the world who are waiting to be held in the arms of a loving parent.
That's why I want to remind you that "Orphan Sunday" is Nov. 8th. If you would like to find out more or if your church would like to get involved, just go to www.christian-alliance-for-orphans.org or www.orphansunday.org.
As Christians, we are called to care for orphans in their distress. Please take the time to check out these websites. I know that God will use you to make a difference in the lives of these precious children.
