Message in a Bottle

Message in a Bottle

Last year over 100 churches completed a Baby Bottle Campaign, over 12,500 bottles were distributed and over $70,000 was raised. Many times we might receive checks or cash in the bottles instead of coins, however, in one bottle we received a special message from one of our donors. His note read: “I am adopted—so, that means I was not aborted. Now I was born in 1942 and I don’t know how many abortions were being done back then—but probably not many and as a result I was lucky to be adopted. I have never been able to find out who my biological parents are—the records were not kept very well back then with the war going on and all. The Lord blessed me and I am a Christian believer. I know this money will go to good use. In Christ’s Love.”

How great it was to find that message. Praise God for that mother who chose life for her son and for the family who adopted him. Even in 1942 God was at work in the lives of moms, dads and babies; not to mention families wanting to adopt babies. The donor called it luck that he was adopted and not aborted, but God would say it was simply His will being done. Now 68 years later we see how God’s will is always good, pleasing and perfect (Romans 12:2).
