Today is mothers day, and in todays world, a mother comes in so many different ways. There are those that are biological mothers, step mothers, and those that commit mothering acts daily. You see we women, are wired to be mothers, that is how our God created us. This does not mean that all of us have to be biological mothers to children. Whether we realize it or not, we mother numerous people in our lifetime. When we come along side someone, male or female, and nurture a need, we are mothering. It is really a beautiful thing. Some children although they live in a home where the "mother" is present, she is non existant, tuned out, etc. There are mothers that are overly motherly and then there are those mothers that abandon their children all together. A mother plays a instumental part in a childs development, and when she is missing, the puzzle is not complete. This is all to overwhelmingly true for the orphaned child. For they not only are void of a mother, but a father as well.
Orphan children want to know "If God loves ME" why am I an orphan?" "If you love me, why don't you adopt me?" Most of them cannot comprehend God's love and the Gospel makes no sense to them - as long as they are orphans. One of the goals of Sweet Miracles is to aide in the adoption of the orphans. In the Philippines we can get 15 to 20 children adopted for the same cost as raising only one child in an orphanage, where they will stay for an average of 10 years or more. The cost to sponsor an adoption in the Philippines is only 1,000 to 1,500.
OUR GOAL: For the year of 2011, Sweet Miracles would like to successfully raise enough funds to do the following:
1. Short term mission trip to the Philippines in August
2. Sponsor 3 adoptions
Emptying an orphanage by adoption on a regular and repeated basis provides a never ending resource in which to house more homeless orphans who are currently living and dying on the streets.
God Bless
