A child whom you accepted, took in lovingly will teach one pray. Perhaps only our ever-caring God knows how many times did I go down on my knees praying earnestly for our children over the past years ! Experiencing my own limitations how many times did I beseech our heavenly Father on my knees for a boy or girl, crying asking for them wisdom, strong spirit, perseverance, the grace of starting anew , and of course I asked for bread, money for the gas bill , good carers , with whom one can make a miracle in the world of these drifting, frightened , struggling children .
Share your bread with the hungry , says our Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, accepting a child is a form of fasting as well, how many things has the one who decides by accepting life give up . Real fasting comes from love, that is why it is sweet and easy and I believe that is also endearing for our creator God. We do not have to look for extraordinary , self-torturing ways of prayers , fasting , because if humbly we embark on the way of love , of acceptance, then the everyday will bring in abundance their inexhaustible source for self-denial , for prayer , lets just be able to accept , not to be overwhelmed by them carry them out for God’s glory !
