(Injustice) I did not take this photo but borrowed from a friend on FB who runs a baby house for abandoned babies in South Africa. Her house is always full of babies in need from tiny to about 2 years old.
Injustice to me is instantly when I think of how many that are in need or that are the "least of these" are left with out families and parents. The babies in this home have been abandoned and left without mothers and fathers. I have read stories where infants have been found on the bed of trucks in the field of a park and even in dumpsters and then brought into Shepherd's Keep where they are loved and cared for by some amazing individuals who are truly the hands of God to those who are the most in need. http://www.shepherdskeep.org.za/ [Here is their web page if you would like to read more].
Yes God has a plan for every individual and a very special plan for the lives of each of those babies. As a mother I can't always stomach the stories I hear of children being treated wrong neglected or abused in any manner. As a Christan I am overwhelmed on how to deal with the emotions of these stories. How do we fit in and how can we help?
I don't know exactly what we can do but we have to support the causes that are near and dear to our hearts and to be in prayer and a constant state of prayer at that asking where, how and when do we purposefully serve.
I do think strongly in our hearts that one day we will adopt a child that will join our family. For now I will trust in God and be thankful for the divine interventions he places in their lives such as Shephard's Keep.
Tomorrow "settle"
