Orphan Sunday
By Khylee
November 6th is Orphan Sunday. A day set aside for believers to remember and pray for the millions of children in our world that are without a family. I pray that you will not let this Sunday come and go, but that you will earnestly pray about how YOU can be involved in taking care of the orphan.
Maybe it means sponsoring a child through World Vision, financially supporting a family that is choosing to build their family through adoption, becoming a foster parent, praying for children in need of forever homes, throwing a baby shower for a family that has decided to foster children, spending a week of vacation loving on children in an orphanage, signing up as a volunteer at DHS to spend time with children in a local shelter, or choosing to adopt. There are so many ways to fulfill the command we have been given "to defend the cause of the fatherless." We can all do something, what will you do?
