family day

February 18, 2008 · 5 Comments

Today is family day here.  A new government holiday.  I am thrilled Mr. C gets to stay home with me for an extra day this week.  We are going to have a nice relaxing day of nothing together and just be a family.  I do however have a few things I struggle with, with this holiday.
I pray for those children who don’t have families.  who are stuck in our horrible foster system. I pray for those who are not safe in their houses.  I pray with a mothers heart for these children.  I pray that God will protect them from the bad things that are happening.  I pray for those children who are waiting for adoption, but don’t seem to get the opportunity to be adopted b/c the government and society has deemed them too hard to handle.  I pray for those families that desire children, yet don’t have an open heart to adoption.  I pray for Gods will to bless and keep our families that struggle to stay as families.  I pray for those who don’t have families; that God will provide them with one.

I pray these things with frustration and tears.

I pray for you family.  That God blesses it and keeps it in his care.
