SO, MY SWEET SISTER KELLY, WHOM MOST OF YOU KNOW IS ADOPTED (OUR FAMILY GOT HER RIGHT FROM AN OREGON HOSPITAL AT 2 DAYS OLD) AND WHO STARTED ME, THEN AS A 6 YEAR OLD CHILD, ON A JOURNEY AND DESIRE TO ADOPT THAT WILL CONCLUDE WITH BRINGING OUR BABY GIRL, WROTE ME A SPECIAL POEM FOR ABILGAIL FOR CHRISTMAS-I THOUGHT IT WAS SO NEAT AND I WANTED TO SHARE IT.
Adopting Africa
Lord keep us mindful as we wait,
Your time is perfect.
You are never late!
Our hearts are full of longing, loving,
as we wait for our Little One's coming.
Keep our babe in grace and care.
Give health, strength,
as You form her there.
For there she is in another's womb,
knit together by Your loving hand
to come home to us from another land.
A land of heat and pain,
savannahs and hunger,
of thirsting in vain.
So give us faith, Lord, as we wait
for that blessed day
when we know
that Africa is on her way.
