Life through love

“I asked the Lord to give me this boy, and he has granted my request.” – 1 Samuel 1: 27

PRAYER THOUGHT: When we marvel at the beauty of God’s creation – be it a snow-capped mountain, a shimmering sunset or the wonder of a new-born child – let us give thanks too for those who create new life for orphans. Though they themselves may be unfruitful, their decision to adopt a child is a beautiful reflection of God’s love. True religion, the bible says, is taking care of orphans. What greater care is there than in the arms of a loving family? Let us pray it turns any sense of sadness into a mutual celebration of creating life through love.
