Opening Your Heart
July 7, 2022
Opening your heart is not for the faint of heart. If you doubt this, get to know a family with adopted children. Get to know a family who has adopted children from diverse cultures or races different from their own.
They can tell you of the times their hearts have broken. When their love was not enough to fill the hole in their child’s heart. When the world’s bias and unkindness was beyond what they could control. When the damage was beyond their fixing.
I have been asked, “Is that your real child.” (I’m tempted to answer, “No, its my plastic one.”) Our humor gets a little crazy, of necessity.
Remember Scripture tells us heavens population will be multicolored and multicultural. The blessings of an open heart are huge.
