While on a business trip last week, I used the little free time I had to read Heaven Is For Real by Todd Burpo. I highly recommend this book! It is the true life account of a family who touched Heaven thru their son. He was very ill and had emergency surgery to save his life. The child began to tell his parents about his visit to Heaven while he was in surgery in stunning detail. He provided information about people he never knew or met on this earth (including a sister that his mother miscarried) that was completely accurate. At one point in the book, he is telling his parents frequently that "Jesus loves the children." He is adamant about it.
I truly believe Jesus does love the children. There are many accounts of Jesus love for children in the Bible. It is clear this is something that should evoke passion. It is our responsibility to show the love of Jesus to the children of the world.
I have a passion for all children but there is a special place in my heart for special needs orphans. Most recently, this little boy has stolen my heart and I plan on doing all I can to help his family find him. Despite the life he has been given, living in an orphanage his entire life so far, this boy has the joy of Jesus in his eyes, in his smile and in his amazing giggle. This young man will be a special addition to any family. He he your son?
Not everyone is called to adopt. I understand that. However, you cannot pretend you do not see the plight of the orphans of the world. What will you do to help? You can simply pass along this information. Possibly someone you know or someone who knows someone you know are his family. You can pray for his family to find him...prayer is a mighty tool! You can donate to his adoption grant which will help his family to go get him once they find him. There is something you can do...something everyone can do!
If his family doesn't commit to him soon, he will be transferred. This is often not good. I have seen the joy and life drain from the face of a child that has been transferred.
LOVE...this child needs the love of a family. Please help me find them!
If you need more information, let me know. If you have questions, ask. If are his family, I will do all I can to help you go get him.
Please pray what you will do to help this boy and his family find each other!
Jesus LOVES the children...let's show Denzel the love!!!
