“Lydia, whatcha doing?”
“I’m looking at my friends. These are my friends, Mama.”
as she gazes at our calendar from New Day Foster Home, a nonprofit serving Chinese orphans in Beijing, China
Lord, help me know how to parent this little girl to encourage her love for the people of her home country and love for the children around the world who are without families while also helping her to know she is our daughter fully and, while she may not look like us physically, fits perfectly with us.
What a sweet prayer! Aren’t you glad we don’t have to do this parenting thing on our own?
Doesn’t that just get you? In a perfect world, little ones wouldn’t have be concerned about such things…
That is so sweet…her and her friends, and you and your prayer. May that be true of all of us.
