She Wanted a Girl

Posted by on March 6, 2008 in Children's Home

Jeremy has curly hair and seems to smile all the time. He is plump and looks very healthy. When he was born he was rejected by his mother. She wanted a girl. His mother was a prostitute and she was not willing to keep him. He could not advocate for himself and ask for life but she was talked into giving him to us.

His future is bright and he is just adorable. The future would have been dark if he was raised by a mother who would provide little love and was willing to just throw him away. He is now joined by the other band of throw-aways in the Children’s Home. Jeremy will be nurtured with lots of hugs and hope. The children we are raising are all going to be bi-lingual (Indonesian and English) and offered the highest level of education they are able to achieve. Education is so important to the path for their future.

I looked at the smiling face of little Jeremy–thanking God he is alive and we have him in our care. I also see him as a part of the band of rejected souls who have been rescued. Thank all of you for your prayers and support.
