As I was working on some adoption paperwork this morning and pondering our reasons for wanting to add to our family through adoption, I came across this passage in Psalm 68:
5 A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows,
is God in his holy dwelling.
The part, "God sets the lonely in families..." really hit home with me. It struck me that the "lonely" might not just refer to the child. I believe that God has already given us our daughter from China, even though we have not met her yet. My heart longs for her. My arms long to hold her. I know that without her in our lives we would be "lonely."
