My Little Children

My husband and I sponsor three children overseas. Today as I watched a documentary of over sea orphanages I cringed. Realizing a little girl I "adopted" via the mail has really never been adopted at all by me. I never write; ever. To me a check sent out automatically has been my only commitment. Somehow the idea of a child being behind the picture has not been real.
I feel ashamed my lack of commitment. How many years has she waited for a letter only to be disappointed? Does she feel the loneliness of wondering why no one every really checks on her?

It is sad when we realize our lack of commitment hurts others. Tomorrow I will be writing my "girls" and starting a new way. Poor little things. Children are God's greatest concern and each special to him. So my neglect shames me. Pray for my girls: three of them. Chun, Puilu, Luchilluc. God bless my girls.
