My wife recently found a table on Craigslist. Our current table has four chairs. The new table has six chairs. The other night as the family gathered around the new table for dinner it appeared to me that we now have room for two more people at our table. So silently I have been praying who God might send to fill those two chairs.
"Do you have room at your table?" Before you answer that question remember who you are. Remember that you are a child of God who declares that there is always room at His table. At some point in your life God pulled a chair up to His table and invited you to dine. None of us are natural-born children of God. We are all adopted by the grace of God through Jesus Christ.
There are thousands of orphaned children in our world today that need to feel welcome at a family table. This blog is a beginning on the theology, missional, and ethical dimensions of adoption. I would love to hear your feedback and receive any comments that you may have.
