Another Child Rescued

Huge congrats to my friends, Jason and Shawnda Kovacs on the adoption of their new baby boy from Uganda. Jason writes on his blog:

My wife and son are on their way home! This morning he left his home in Uganda for his new home. Tommorrow he will sleep in his new bed. He’s going from 9 roomates to 2. Many momma’s to mommy and daddy (and two sisters who like to act like mommy’s). Not owning a single toy to more than he’ll know what to do with. We can’t wait to wrap our arms around him. We can’t wait to see him grow and get healthy. We can’t wait to see all that God has for him in this life! Lord, thank you for this incredible gift!

Take a moment and meditate on Isaiah 58.

Isaiah 58:6-12

“Is not this the fast that I choose:
to loose the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the straps of the yoke,
to let the oppressed go free,
and to break every yoke?

Is it not to share your bread with the hungry
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?

Then shall your light break forth like the dawn,
and your healing shall spring up speedily;
your righteousness shall go before you;
the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.

Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’
If you take away the yoke from your midst,
the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,

if you pour yourself out for the hungry
and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
then shall your light rise in the darkness
and your gloom be as the noonday.

And the Lord will guide you continually
and satisfy your desire in scorched places
and make your bones strong;
and you shall be like a watered garden,
like a spring of water,
whose waters do not fail.

And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt;
you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
you shall be called the repairer of the breach,
the restorer of streets to dwell in.
