In my P3 class, we are reading Pippi Longstocking. One of the questions for comprehension asked where the townspeople thought Pippi should live. The answer, of course, is a Children's Home or orphanage. When we were discussing the answer, one of the little girls asked, "What is an orphanage?" I love that she had no idea! Her home here is a family and so far removed from an orphanage that she had no clue what the word even meant.
As I was reading Psalm 68 for our study this week, verses five and six stood out to me: "A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land." It is amazing to see tangible evidences of how God is faithfully being a father to the fatherless and setting the lonely in families.
