Christmas


. . . is about adoption . . . 

"But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons."  Galatians 4:4-5 

Jesus didn't leave the comforts of heaven to be born in a stable and die a cruel death just so He could experience life on earth. He did it for you; he did it for me, so we can become part of His family. 

It's hard work to adopt. Things have to be given up, sacrifices have to be made, your privacy is invaded, you can even get hurt, but all this is worth welcoming someone new into your family. Jesus did that for you! Are you ready to become a part of His family? Are you ready to tell others about the family you're in? This Christmas, let's celebrate our adoption.

Hey,
I came across your blog and wanted to say hi! Our family has been registered with the MOJ since 6/09. We are from the Charlotte area. I saw your Christmas tree post so I imagine you are close to NC! Keep in touch

Great to "meet" you! Hope you get your referral soon!! We used to live in NC and still have family there, but we've just recently moved to GA.
