Claire knows how to run the washer/dryer. Isaac can sort-of clear the table, unload and load the dishwasher....Jeremiah can play "Mystery" with Precious and entertain her. I think they will survive for 2 weeks. Roger is competent, willing and patient. They will be ok. They won't eat many vegetables, other than what sweet Becca put in the hot dishes she put in my fridge (THANK YOU!!!) and they may stay up too late. They may not have good music playing in the kitchen after supper.....or get a smile and a kiss as they head to the bus....but they will make it. They will be brave and cheerful and optomistic. Why?
Because they believe in me. They believe that this matters. They know the children that I am going to see....and they care about them. They are excited that I get to go love the kids at SCH for awhile. That's the kind of family I have. They know the verses in the bible, about caring for orphans, and blessed are the meek. They know that Jesus loves these kids so much. They will share mom for 2 weeks. Not for a lifetime, but for 2 weeks. I will miss my family a great deal. I am grateful that they are blessing me to go.
These kids in India. These kids were left. Left by their mothers and fathers. Left. Lost. and then found. These kids are now found. I want to treat them as found kids, not left kids. I want to love them and celebrate them as found kids. Please, please help me pray for them. Many, many families have responded to God's invitation to adopt these found kids but the way is so hard in India. It's not impossible, but it is just so, so hard. These families didn't say "yes" to the Lord because adopting these found kids would be "fun". They said "yes" because God asked. But God didn't make an easy path so these families need us to pray, really intensely, just as you would if the child you bore and raised and loved was lost and found. Please pray these kids into their families.
I get to go to India in just over 24 hours. I get to be a part of a big Christian revival, a big rescue, a big God moment.....just by loving on found kids. My found and loved and competent kids here will be fine, and they will be better for it.....and so am I.
