Adopted

11 Sept 2011

 

While waiting for the children to get out of Sunday School this morning I took some time to write.

 

I'm adopted.  Not in the sense our kids were adopted, but adopted no less - by God.  I was able to share this with my son last night, when I told him that God / Jesus adopted me when I was about 5 years old.  That Jesus sought me, paid the price to bring me home to be in his family forever.  Thus it is my connection to my children, somewhat of a shared experience even if on different planes. 

 

Adopted

Alone and unwanted,

Sought as a child.

Open arms, loving heart.

Welcomed to a family was I.

Older now I realize,

What love did for me.

Turning now I begin,

Seeking a child.

Alone and unwanted,

A child like me I see.

Open arms, loving heart.

Welcome home my child.
