Defend

Got this message into my Facebook over the weekend:

Hi Janel!
I just wanted to write you a quick note and tell you how awesome Justice is. ‘Y’ had a girl in her class on Friday being kind of mean to her, saying she 'doesn't have a dad'. Justice stuck up for her and let the teacher know what was going on. Very sweet of him! Just wanted you to know what a great kid you have...as if you already didn't know that :)

A child himself once fatherless, now defending the fatherless. A child himself once teased and outcasted, now with the confidence to stand up for those being treated unfairly. Such an advertisement for the way that God has transformed my child's life through adoption. And he sure is living up to his new name isn’t he? :)

Isaiah 1:17 ~ Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.
