What if.....

What if... No one cared that you had been born? No one saw your first smile or encouraged your first steps? You never felt a mother's love or a father's embrace? You longed for a family that never came and hoped for a home that lived only in your dreams? Orphaned children all over the world are waiting...hoping...praying that they will become dear to someone. That somewhere there will be one special family that finds delight and great joy in welcoming them into their home! Each one waits expectantly, with a hopeful heart for a family to come, each tiny soul daring to silently rehearse secret dreams for the future... Is there room in your heart for a waiting child?                      ~All God's Children International Hope... when there is none, there is darkness. The gift of hope to a child makes all the difference in the world.  To learn more about how you can be involved in showing hope to these precious children, go to www.showhope.org Ready for another eyeopening experience??...... [I thought so] =)  There are approximately 143,000,000 orphans worldwide. A staggering, heart-wrenching number, but what does it really mean? This video shows just how many precious lives 143 million is. Be prepared to cry [like I did] but be prepared to see how God can use you. Whether it is through finances, adoption, awareness, or prayer, everyone can be involved in care for the orphans... just let God's heart be yours.  "I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you." ~John 14:18 What can you do?... Start with prayer... =)  "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for y ou by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."   ~ Matthew 18:19-20
