Christmas Blessings & Prayers from the Pure Religion Project

A Christmas Blessing for Foster & Adoptive Families As you read the Christmas story, may you be encouraged by the ready obedience of the mother of Jesus. May God grant you the same courage to follow Him faithfully, even as He calls you into the unknown. As you leave the comfortable and the conventional behind, may you be reminded that God did the same when He took on flesh. May you remember that in every place where your family sets aside comfort and ease for the sake of love, He’s already gone before you. When your home’s dynamic changes as new members enter your family, may you feel the same love and joy that the Father felt when welcoming you into His. As you remember and miss children who were in your home in years past, may you be filled with comfort and peace, knowing that their lives are held by the Lord still. When your family is faced with challenges and daunting odds, may you remember that you serve a God who defies expectations, a God of miracles. May you not see setbacks, but only opportunities for His power to be displayed. May you remember that for all the love you have for your family, God loves them infinitely more. May you be given faith to wait on the fulfillment of His promises.
