It's Orphan Awareness Day!

Hi friend!

Did you know that today is Orphan Sunday?

If you didn't know don't feel bad?
I just was reminded earlier this week by someone that posted on good ol' Facebook.
Is that where you get a lot of your information,  too?

I'd like to share a video {someone posted on Facebook} about what this day is about.

When I watched it earlier today I'm sure I spotted a picture of Andrea Roberts and her son Reece. Andrea is the lady who started Reece's Rainbow.

It was two years ago that God started to speak to my heart about helping orphans. Up until then I never gave it much thought.

It all started when a friend's daughter became an Angel Tree Warrior for Maribel during Reece's Rainbow's 2010 Angel Tree event.

Sweet Miss Maribel stole my heart! Honestly, if I was younger and my circumstances were different I would have gone and brought Maribel home myself. Oh yes I would have!

However, I know I'm not supposed to adopt. It's not God's plan for me and hubby.  So relax, that's not what I'm getting at for you either. I don't believe that we all should run out and adopt or be foster parents.

BUT - we can all do something. And if you're a Christian I believe God's word is very specific in telling us we are to help orphans.

So, friend, please take a few minutes to watch the video today on Orphan Sunday.

I pray you will view it with an open heart and mind and will consider what it is God wants you to do to help.

Thanks friend! and Happy Orphan Awareness Sunday!
