Devotional TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9TH, 2010 Day 3
Filled with Joy
Continued from yesterday’s devotional:
Victoria’s mother died from complications of childbirth. Her father, unsure what to do next, gave his newborn daughter to her aunt and uncle, the village pastor, to raise. The couple lovingly cared for Victoria but, with six children of their own, it became increasingly difficult to provide enough food for everyone.
When she was 8, she was accepted into a Christian children’s home in another city, where she remained in contact with her relatives. She lived at the home for over a year.
Victoria’s story has a happy ending. In March 2008, she and a little boy from the home were adopted by a family in Lynden, Washington. Dave and Carrie Blaske already had four biological children, and they have since adopted another boy from the same Ghana orphanage, bringing their total number of children to seven (first picture).
Before departing for her new life in America, Victoria and her adoptive parents visited her native village (second picture). It was an emotional time when she came to say goodbye to her aunt and uncle and cousins.
“I remember Victoria running down the dirt path to her old home,” Carrie said. “She was anxiously talking to her aunt in their language. She was trying to find out whether or not her aunt still had the toy horse she had received in her shoe box. The aunt explained to Victoria that the toy had spoiled in the mud and rain. Victoria was devastated.”
During her first Christmas season with the Blaskes, Victoria was eager to pack a shoe box for Operation Christmas Child. In fact, she wanted to pack as many as possible.
James 1:27 ~ Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Prayer: Dear God – We pray for the staff, volunteers, and logistics involved during National Collection Week this year, scheduled from Nov. 15-22. We also ask for your help in giving us generous spirits this Christmas, now through Operation Christmas Child, but also in the future with needs that we see around us in the coming season.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
