The Foster Parents associate of the greater Amarillo area is meeting at our church soon. Here is a letter of appreciation to them.
Dear Friends,
On behalf of the people of Westover Fellowship, I would like to thank you for your service and contribution to our larger Amarillo community. Foster parenting is not easy. Yet amidst the challenges and complexities, you see the need to provide pivotal moments of promise for these young ones. Your ministry is of immense value, and in the end--somehow, somewhere--we all benefit. THANK YOU!!
Your presence vividly reminds us of one of our core values as Christians--we, who were once estranged and left for orphans, are now 'adopted' as sons and daughters of God.
"His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ." (Ephesians 1.5)
This is the reality that compels us to reach out in love and to share life in all its fullness. It guides our worship in the midst of our life's difficulties, our moral vision in the midst of our temporary failings, and our leadership in the midst of our inadequacies. It gives us hope and joy and helps us live with greater understanding and grace.
As Westover Fellowship continues down the road of ministry, we give thanks to God for your faithfulness and the poignant reminder of our own identity in Christ. May God bless you richly!
Grace and peace,
Your fellow orphan,
JON
