Blessing these children

false expectations

not flesh and blood

wanting to adopt

but that isn’t the law

blessing these children

keeping them safe

opening homes

opening hearts

Neglectful Parents

How could they lose him,
he was only twelve,
not know he was with them?
Not know for a full day’s journey
assuming he was with family
No idea where he was,
frantically searching for four days
Finding him safe; but they didn’t know that
didn’t know he was safe in church
where he had stayed
while they didn’t know where
he was for five days

Luke 2:41-52
In today's world, this is probably how
it would be reported.
