I cannot make a family appear for the children on my heart. I cannot make a fundraiser a runaway success. I cannot save every orphan in the world. I cannot make people 'get it' if they simply do not! I cannot make somebody go without to donate if they do not see.
I cannot...but I know who can!
So this week I give thanks and continue to try!
I am not succeeding but I will try!
I will continue to try for these children who have my heart held in their tiny hands.

Here is the Forget-Me-Not Friday gallery, a tiny portion of all the beautiful, extra-special children on Reece's Rainbow, each one desperate for a family to love them.
Click on their name link to visit their page on Reece's Rainbow to find out more. These children really are on the 'frontline' of need, they need us to help! You do not need to adopt to help. Become a warrior for a child, or donate to their adoption fund to help a family find the huge amount of money needed for international adoption. Just re post or add my Forget-Me-Not Friday button to your blog. If you are a warrior come and link here weekly on Fridays, let me know beforehand so I can add your child's face to the gallery. Link any post or write using an ongoing writing prompt of 'Forgotten'. Or perhaps you could adopt? Perhaps you could be blessed by opening up your heart to one of these children? Is your child here?

| A new picture of Alice S. This makes me so sad! It reminds us their childhood is passing with no Mama, when we see how much they have grown. |

I am thrilled to be linking up every Friday with 3 awesome ladies who also have big hearts for these children. They all do special Friday posts to find these angels forever families. Go visit Mandy over at, 'Our Adoption Story'. And then visit the amazing Andrea at 'Taking God's Love To The Ends Of The Earth'. and then go give some blogworld love to Julia over at Micha Six Eight
REMEMBER GRAB THE BUTTON!
HAVE YOU JUST FOUND YOUR CHILD?
Oh Jane, you make such a big difference. Never stop doing what you are doing. I am going to try to include different little angels. I hope that someone will see one of these children and say "that is my son or daughter!".
ReplyDeleteJane,
ReplyDeleteI understand how you feel... I want to encourage you though to not forget all the victories along this long, weary road. You ARE making a difference. I am deeply touched every time I come over here and hear your love for these kids and see your heart which is laid bare on these pages... I know it's discouraging when it feels like all your best efforts aren't accomplishing anything but you never know what is going on behind the scenes. Most importantly, never under estimate the power of your prayers. I know for a fact that your prayers are moving mountains in the spiritual realms.
Praying that God would give you the strength you need to keep fighting and the He would provide you with a special bit of encouragement this week.
As promised praying for Miss Francine and Artem too. That they will find a forever family soon. Of course that Miss Francine's funds will gorw huge and no longer be an issue.
ReplyDeleteJane thank you for those words the other day.I needed them so much every little bit helps but our hearts always want so much more for the children
ReplyDeleteDID YOU SEE??? Andrea gave Nasira's grant to Francine!!!! (Nasira's mom took her home:))
