Match­ing Mon­day

I'm tak­ing the "Match­ing Mon­day Challenge!"

From match­ing monday:

"I have been doing Match­ing Mon­days for many months now.More peo­ple fea­tur­ing wait­ing chil­dren means more peo­ple will be see­ing­wait­ing chil­dren and hope­fully more hearts will be changed, minds will be enlight­ened and more matches will be made. This is some­thing rel­a­tively easy that you can do to sup­port adoption.

I hope you will join me in this effort!

I encour­age YOU to become an advo­cate of wait­ing chil­dren by look­ing through your own states wait­ing chil­dren web­sites and choose one or two each Mon­day to fea­ture on your blog.

My three main goals in fea­tur­ing wait­ing chil­dren was to...

1. Give these chil­dren and all wait­ing chil­dren more pos­i­tive exposure.
2. Help change hearts and minds by allow­ing peo­ple to see who is really wait­ing for a family...break stereotypes.
3. Help cou­ples and chil­dren come together.

I have been think­ing of what else can be done with Match­ing Mon­days to help in these three goals move for­ward. After pon­der­ing on this topic, I decided that I need to recruit peo­ple to fea­ture wait­ing chil­dren on their own blogs. It seems that in many cases it is a lit­tle eas­ier to adopt chil­dren wait­ing in your own state."

I think I made some good picks!

May we have a heart and a zeal to save the poor and release the oppressed.

May we have a heart and a zeal to save the poor and release the oppressed.

Scripture:

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.

-- Luke 4:18-19

Reflection:

This passage is a very familiar one. It has been preached on many occasions, even made popular in books and songs. Though the quote is about Jesus, all Christians take this commission seriously as a directive on how to reach the world with the gospel. We, like our Savior, are to bring the good news to the poor, the broken hearted, those in captivity, those who cannot see, and the oppressed.

The commission given to us in this passage is clearly a charge to care for those for whom God cares the most. I wonder though, whom do we look for to be touched by the Holy Spirit as we go out into the world?

Who are the poor, if not those unborn children who have been abandoned by their parents before they ever leave the womb? Who are the broken hearted, if not those unborn children whose only example of love is having their mother take them to an abortion clinic to be destroyed, or the mother of a child who has been deceived by everyone around her into believing that what she is doing is best for her and her child? Who are the captives, if not those unborn children who are bound over to death by the "choice" of abortion? Who is more blind than an unborn child in the darkness of a womb that has become a waiting room for their death? And who is more oppressed than those unborn children whose oppression has been legitimized by their government, their church and even their family and loved ones.

Prayer:

Lord, You empower us with Your Spirit to do your will in the earth. Send us to the poorest, the most broken, the most captive, the most blind and the most oppressed in the world, the innocent pre-born children in their mother's wombs that are scheduled for destruction. Help us to bring them healing, liberty, sight and justice through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Schools should NEVER be used as Vaccines TESTING centers!

NVIC Questions Safety of Giving Swine Flu vaccine
http://www.youtube.com/user/NVICstandup
Barbara Loe Fisher — http://www.nvic.org
On April 26, a national public health emergency was declared by officials in the U.S. Departments of Health and Homeland Security. We were told it was necessary to declare a national emergency because people were getting sick from a new swine flu virus that began in Mexico and might cause a deadly influenza pandemic. So far, the vast majority of people who get sick with swine flu have symptoms that are no worse than the regular flu and recover completely. Three Week Testing of Swine Flu Vaccines — The declaration of a national public health emergency last spring set a chain of events in motion: some schools were closed, some people were quarantined and drug companies were given billions of tax dollars to create experimental swine flu vaccines. These new vaccines are being fast tracked by the FDA. We are being told they will only be tested for a few weeks on a few hundred children and adults before being given to children in schools in October.
National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 [PL99-660]
1. Provide vaccine benefit & risk information before vaccination.
2. Record vaccine manufacturer's name and lot number.
3. Record vaccines in Child's medical record.
4. Record and Report serious health problems after vaccination.

Thank God for Kids

I’ve always had a thing for babies and little children. I was the oldest of many cousins, so I acted like such a little mom all the time! I think that’s why I want to protect the unborn so much now too. Anyway, that facial expression of amazement I had back then, when I saw my little sister…. is almost exactly what my face looked like in the recent photo with my daughter (if you could see my face.) I still couldn’t believe this little breathing human came out of me? It’s still too amazing for me to fathom. I just got the most recent photos of my daughter in the mail today from her adoptive family, and I am even more in awe of what God can do. She is growing into such a beautiful little girl and is so happy! I love the parents so much. They said her eyes sparkle and shine so much and her smile wins over the hearts of everyone! People in their church can’t help but stop by and be captivated by her laugh and personality! Isn’t God GREAT! I was scared to open them when they first arrived, but I’m always so happy when I do. Thank you God for her and her great family!
