Day 8: Allen for the Jakubauskas Family… Forty to Forever…

Today we are rallying for little Allen whom the Jakubauskas family already consider one of their own. He’s waiting for them to back and bring him home. They are travelling soon. Please go over to Forty to Forever and help them raise those last amounts they need.
Today’s Lent Devotion focuses on whether or not the thing we fast from is for our own good or is it really making us look to Jesus… have a read and think about it… syc

Bulgaria-August 2012 834Eric and Kelsey write: “We started talking about adoption many years ago before our first child was born. We had difficulty getting pregnant and talked about adoption many times during the three years before we were able to conceive. God used this time to start to prepare our hearts for the journey to come. Fast forward a few years and after having 4 children in 8 years we were not thinking about adopting, we were just trying to survive!  At that time a precious family in our Sunday School class brought their daughter Meribeth home from Columbia, and then started working to bring Chrissie home from Serbia. We marveled at the way God worked in each of their adoptions and wondered if we would ever see God working in our lives that powerfully. Little did we know the adventure He had planned for us!

PenelopeURGENT: The Kindall family is not able to be with us physically today or tomorrow due to an unexpected death in the family.  Pray for comfort as they mourn.  Also, in order to help this family reach their fundraising goal we will need everyone to share this post.  The Kindall’s are unable to rally their family and friends to give and share today for their adoption.  Please help us in rallying for them!  

The Kindall family, Gavin and Mali, are adopting Harmony and Penelope from Eastern Europe.  Here is what they have to say about their story and the children who stole their heart: “Our two little beauties, Harmony (3) and Penelope (2), were both born with Down syndrome.  We already had a heart for children with special needs, but when our son was born he…

Needing Love…

Everyone needs love; people need to know that they are loved, that someone out there cares for them and is on their team, that there is someone cheering for them… everyone needs to be shown love and needs to know that they are part of a family who will be there for them through all of life’s ups and downs.

God’s intention was and still is for humans to live together in communities and families to help each other through the long road of life. However, the reality of life is so very different. There are many who don’t even have or even know the very basic component which holds a family together – love; unconditional love, the i-will-love-you-even-if-you-fight-me type of love.

Today i hope you would love a little boy who has never know such love. A little boy who needs it so much it aches my heart to know that he has to face this world and his medical needs all by himself.

Love Eldon today.

This cutie needs a family so very much…

Eldon will be 9 this year – same as my little boy. But he will have no mummy or daddy to celebrate his birthday for him, or hold him when he hurts – like i did my little guy just yesterday when he felt hurt.

Eldon does have a number of medical conditions which with the care and attention of a loving family can be managed and he can live a fulfilling life. But where he is now, in an orphanage where he has to share everything, even clothes and carers, it would be very difficult.

Would you love Eldon today? Is he your son? Maybe? Yes? Contact Reece’s Rainbow to find out more.

Would you love Eldon today? Would you pray for him; for his daily needs, his medical needs and most of all, for his forever family to come for him as soon as possible?

Would you love Eldon today? Would you help grow his adoption grant? A bigger grant would help his forever family reach him faster. Please click on his name or picture to donate.

Thank you.
