James
1:27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this; to
visit orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained from
the world
Today
I am thankful for adoption. Mine, into the family of God; I am thankful that
God saw me and saved me. I am thankful that although I had done nothing
deserving of it; He gave me salvation. I am also thankful today for the earthly
adoption of my two sweet nephews, Eli and Gateon. I have the wonderful
privilege of loving on these little guys all the time. They are the sweetest
two boys and I love them like I do all my other natural born nieces and nephews.
Funny thing is, I usually don’t think of them as adopted; this is how tightly
God knits together families. Eli was adopted first from South Korea Hong Kong . I look at them and see family; just like I look
at all the other McCormick clan. Its really awe inspiring how God can take two
little boys from the other side of the world and knit them so tightly into a
family in Tennessee that we don’t really remember a time when they weren’t with
us!! I am blessed beyond measure to be called Aunt Kirstie by these two
sweeties!! (and yes, I love my other 10 nieces and nephews too!!)
