entrusted to you. God must love them very much,
because somehow He gave them you.
If
He rewards
you, far beyond your worth, by letting you, in some
way, be their benefactor, then who are you to question
His.wisdom?
And so, as we "Celebrate Life," I ask you these two
final questions. First, "what will you do, in the name
of Godly Charity and True Religion, to keep on
providing help, assistance, support, love, care and
nurturing for birthmothers?" And second, "what will
you also do to keep finding ways, in these complex
legal times, that such children can continue to fill the
aching voids in the hearts of other childless couples?"
· Yes, Christian Homes of Abilene is, by some
measures, a small· organization, but "there are those
who love her," for sure. So, we salute you and
commend you to your task. Thank you for making it
possible, long ago, for us to "Celebrate Life" today.
Our house is mostly empty again. On one wall
hangs a framed copy of "Ode To An Adopted Child."
And one of our guest bedrooms, which used to be our
son's bedroom, has been retrofitted into a nursery.
So,
especially tonight we say, ''Thanks -- thanks for the
memories."
It
has been a great ride. I'm glad we
bought a ticket. Aren't you?
