Love an Orphan.




Luke 15 tells us a story of sheep.
Of a shepherd leaving 99 sheep in the pasture...
to find the ONE that's missing.
  
Our Savoir cares for us.
so very much.
deeply, personally.

Which, after visiting Ug@nda in February, I have to trust in.
That He truly does care for each and every child.
Each and every orphan. 

that sleep and eat and play like this. 
 


I trust...
That HE is the Father of the Fatherless.
That HE sets the lonely in families.
Psalm 68

and as I trust that HE cares for each.and.every 147 million orphans,
we do everything we can on this side of Heaven.
we advocate, support, and tangibly show the love of Christ to them.

We can't reach all of those 147 million,
but we can try to help one.  or two.  or a few.

Because that ONE sheep is worth it.

That one life...
We will leave our pasture, our comfort, 
to find, help, protect.
to Love.

As we pray about what type of orphan care the Lord has for us in the future
{adoption, more trips, sponsorship}
right now we are selling these beautiful Ug@ndan bead necklaces and bracelets.
 
 
 
Each and every one was made by an Ug@ndan woman,
who sells them to pay for her children's schooling.
As you by a necklace or bracelet, 
you support her.
Her children.

AND you support orphans.
All of the proceeds go towards orphan care.

AND you get a super cute necklace or bracelet.
or both. 
 
 
in this photo I'm wearing 3 bracelets together - super cute layered.




 
 
I wear them all the time and always get compliments.

You can buy a necklace
($20, including shipping)

or bracelet 
($8, including shipping)

by clicking the paypal link . 


And, in buying a necklace or bracelet, you truly help find that ONE sheep.
You help that ONE orphan know he is loved.


Thank-you for loving the fatherless with us.

3 Hours. 3 Dollars.




Friends!
Meet Anika. 


 



She's just adorable, isn't she??

She is orphan in Eastern Europe.

But, through God's divine plan, she has found her forever family.
And her forever family is headed to meet her soon!

Can you imagine?  
This sweet, sweet girl, living with no parents, in potentially heart-wrenching institutional conditions, is going to MEET her mommy and daddy for the very first time very, very soon!

Would you be a part of her journey home?
My friend Love, who the Lord used to lead me to Africa, found out about Anika and Love is now trying to help get her home.


Love is asking all of us to give $3.

That's it. Seriously! 
three bucks.
That's cheaper than my Starbucks order!

Would you consider giving the $3 to Anika's fund?
Think of all the ways you could spend three dollars.
Would you consider being a part of helping an orphan find her family?
To help her family GET HER HOME?
It may not feel like a lot, but it every.single.dollar. adds.up. 

When you click on the link under Anika's photo above, there is a paypal link.
May seem so insignificant, but this is truly life-changing for this orphan.

three dollars.  click now!

And then go to Love's blog and leave a comment, where you'll be entered to win a super, super cute purse.

AND 

come back to HERE and leave a comment that you donated your three dollars to
Anika's forever family,
and I will pick a random person to win a super cute African beaded bracelet.
Donate by midnight Sunday night (central time) for your entry here.



Orphan care is so, so close to my heart.   Will you join me?
