Tabitha, meaning restored to life...

One evening, in Haiti, we were asked to pray for a new infant at the crèche (orphanage). The baby girl was only a few days old, I believe 6, and weighed 5lbs when she came to the Lashbrooks. She came without a name so Cindy called her Tabitha. Keith told me the mother was going to throw the baby away if she didn’t find a home for her that evening. I can’t put into words what I felt. Heartbroken can’t explain the feeling. The good news is that within a few days there was a couple interested in adopting her. I will always remember this child. Seeing this first hand reminds me that this happens every single day in Haiti. I don’t understand how anybody could not love these children.
James 1:27 says this “Religion that pleases God the Father must be pure and spotless. We must help needy orphans and widows and not let this world make you evil.”
