Making Way for Baby

Here lately, we've been talking a lot about the baby that's coming, reading "big sister" books to Kilee and talking about what little babies do. Today, we were arranging the new baby's nursery and putting the new bedding (thanks, mom!) on the crib so we could see it. Kilee was a little curious about what was going on. I told her that the crib was ready for when God gave us the new baby. Then, she said "Up, mommy!" I put her in the crib. The following pictures explain what she did. I can't tell if she wants to be "the baby" again from these pics or if she's just excited about a baby. Either way, these pictures are funny and cute!

The crib is set up really high now. She's kneeling in this picture.

Pretending to be asleep in the crib!

Tucking Pooh in.

She was very careful putting the baby to bed. So cute!

He Has Not Left Us As Orphans

This video was originally posted on Youtube by a 15-year-old. It is set to a powerful song by Avalon that conveys the truth that there are no orphans of God. If you have a relationship with Christ, you are no longer a spiritual orphan seperated from your Heavenly Father. He has adopted you into his family through the blood of His son, Jesus Christ. This video really challenges me. As the church, adopted sons and daughters of God, we are uniquely gifted to share the love of Christ with the orphan. We can share our resources, our hearts and if we are called to adopt, our lives. Would God have you adopt a child in the US or abroad? Would you be willing to sponsor an orphan child in the US or abroad? Pray about how God might use you in the life of an orphan child.
