Open to Adoption – v3


Choosing to be adopted
ah, that is the key point
isn’t it, the important thing
the fact of choice

A different act, when it is
a purposeful step, choosing
whether in earthly terms
or accepting the offer
paid in full, fully,
one time for all, for everyone
by the Lamb, by our Lord Jesus

An adult has a choice,
the gift of free will
which path to choose in life;
a boldness in choosing
being open to adoption,
penitent and thankful,
by a loving mother or father.

Open to Adoption
About Ephesians 1:3-14 and
about the adoption at age 25 in 1913 of my grandfather,
Arthur Leon Foss by Georgiana Foss, matron of
the Faith Home orphanage in Lowell, MA.
Honoring her by taking the name he had always known.
Recognizing the consciousness of accepting
God’s offer of adoption, with its rewards and responsibilities.
