Dan Cruver on Recent Earthquakes and Adoption

Though I pray for orphans more than this, Thursday's are days I intentionally pray specifically for orphans around the world.

To get a few updates for specific prayer this morning I went to the Together for Adoption site.

I read a helpful post by Dan Cruver on a reflection on Romans 8, recent earthquakes, orphan care, and forward living. You can read it here.

His conclusion:

"One of the consequences of our forward-longing living is that whenever we care for orphans—doing what we can to alleviate their suffering and give them a better future—we point to the day when the earth will be made new. Not only do we give the world a glimpse of the renewed earth where orphanages will no longer exist, we also give orphans a foretaste of it."
