Adopted into the Family of God

I came across these lyrics, and I think it helps put things in perspective. We tried for so long to conceive, thinking that would be God's plan for our lives. But looking back, He had a different plan for us. He knew what He was doing. Through this experience so far, I have learned to try to let go, and let God. Not just in this area of my life, but in day to day situations. Of course we have had our fair share of ups and downs, but remembering that we are adopted into the family of God once we accept Jesus as our Savior, makes this process worth it. Romans 8:15 "... but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba Father." Thank you Lord for saving my soul!
The least Jeremy and I can do (besides telling others about Him) is help save these innocent children, who don't have a mother and father, from a life of misery. I am so thankful that the Lord has chosen the two of us to save a few of these precious little ones! One life at a time.


They Chose Me ©Debbie L. Rice

Scared and all alone in the orphan home
No mom or dad to sing them lullabies’
Waiting night and day just to hear them say
“Too young, too old, not right, we’re just not sure”
They sing themselves to sleep; they know no other way
No family to teach them how to pray
They long to feel the love a family can give
Their empty eyes reflect the life they live.
(Chorus)
Why can’t we see? Why can’t we hear?
The empty lives just waiting to be filled
Why can’t we be His hands and feet
Why can’t we change the world for just one tiny life.
Why can’t it be: “They chose me”
(Bridge)
That’s how it is with Jesus He chose you as His own
He saw your situation He knew you had no hope
He never would forsake you. He knew just what to do….. He chose you.
(Chorus)
Why can’t we be His hands and feet
Why can’t we change the world just one life at a time
We’re all the same, all in His name
A family adopted by the Son
Why can’t we see? Why can’t it be… “They chose Me”
