Can you get us one?

Yesterday at dinner, Nate prayed and mentioned his usual "God, thank you for this food, thank you for our house, thank you for our family, thank you for the orphans..."  At bedtime, I reminded him that mommy will be leaving soon for China and I asked him to keep praying for the orphans, worldwide and there at Maria's Big House.  He knows that mommy is going to love on some babies that don't have a mommy or daddy.  His next words were  "Can you get us one?"  I asked him "one what?" to make sure I understood what he meant.  Nate confirmed what I was assuming he meant and asked, "Can you get us an orphan?"  Cue the tears!!!  The only answer I could give was "No buddy, not this time, but let's pray about that (and I think you better go ask your daddy)"  Oh, Lord, please continue to break my heart for the fatherless and give me the faith of a child!  Thank you that your grace has redeemed us and not left us as orphans, but instead given us a HOPE and a future!
