What Love can do

Inspiring post informing Christians about their biblical responsibility toward orphans, and offering practical suggestions for orphan care.

Dear Will,
Today we went to stand before a judge
You swore to be, give and accept a very long list of responsibilities
For not just your three, but four more children
My children
Instead of being, acting and carrying the responsibilities as a Father figure
You agreed to
Be Their Father Forever
Today you legally adopted my children to be your own

One of the many reasons I love you is because
Other than them carrying your name
Not one thing in our daily life will change
You have already filled the role of a Father
You have sacrificed for them
You teach, listen, hug, comfort, console, spend time, money, work, provide
Attend, help, love, read and tuck them into bed at night, hold them when they cry
Also give tolerance, patience, forgiveness, and understanding for the burdens they carry
And go without all the things you could just give to yourself
All the things a Father does
You were already doing
And they love you 

As you gave them a special gift
That you picked out for each one of them
You told them you were blessed to get to be their Father
And reminded them that what makes you family
Is Loving each other

I Love You
For all that you give
I Love You for Loving Them
When they have absolutely nothing to offer you in return
But Love
An endless amount of Love
