Great poem I found!

Every call has a beginning
A quiet moment when God
whispers a promise to a mother’s heart
A holy place where a father bows and faithfully accepts
the journey set before him.
A miraculous morning that unexpectedly dawns…
Casting its first light on a chosen threshold.
A gentle knock..a closed door opens.
A sacred invitation sent by the Father..
Leads to the other side of the world.
Where lonely hearts stare out orphanage windows
Praying for someone to care..
And then one morning,
On an ordinary day
An orphan’s life changes...
God sends them a second chance...Through you..

Our door came last summer but it was not a door we even knew existed. God had to show me the door. It was His invitation to us to fulfill His mission in our lives.

We only had to step forth in faith, the door opened, we stepped through. We tried to take the ball in our hands but that failed and it hurt.

The ball passed to Him, who then showed me our daughter, for no other one claimed her, and no other child touched me as she did and does.
