Imagine that your are in a decent orphanage. Maybe even a really good orphanage. Perhaps even the best orphanage in your area. Most of the workers are decent and even though you don't have a mommy or a daddy you still are better off then so many other orphans. So you get used to the life that you have. The friends that you have and the family that you don't have.
Imagine that you are even happy, because you are a child and life can be pretty simple and happy for a child. But then one day you turn 6 and things are about to change. Not because of anything more then the fact that you have aged out. You will now be moved from this pretty decent life that you have learned to accept and call your own to a building you didn't even know existed. A building full of throwaways. Those that the society you live in don't want to see or remember or care for..much.
Imagine a God that would move the heart of a family an ocean apart from you to keep that from happening. A family that knows how blessed they will be when they get to call you their son. A family that treasures every one of these pictures of you that are sent to them and Imagine that this isn't the end of the story. Imagine that you, because God created you to do so moved the heart of many more families an ocean away to leave the comfort of their lives and the comfort of their finances and invest in a blessing beyond words. That my dear Judah is what I Imagine when I see you :)

ReplyDeleteOh Barb I so want to grab him up and hug him :)
ReplyDeleteI bet you do! He looks a lot smaller in this picture. You need to bring him home and fatten him up. His smile is just so sweet.
