Psalms 68:5-6 "A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing..."
About three years ago, we shared our desire to adopt with our three young daughters. We knew it would be quite a while before we would be ready to begin the adoption process, but we wanted to grow the desire in the hearts of our children while they were still very young. This child who is not even born yet has been the center of many conversations and prayers of our little girls. They very affectionately call him our "babybrotherwithdarkskin," all one word and very matter-of-fact.
When the Psalms talk about our God who "sets the lonely in families" it brings tears to my eyes. Not only will there be a little boy who is lonely for his mommy, daddy, and three big sisters across the world, but there is a family in Grimes, Iowa lonely for their "Baby Brother with Dark Skin."
