This month I would like to focus on the children that are closer to home for us. There are many children that are in America that are are in desperate need of a home. Actually a family. These children may not be orphans in the strictest definition of the word but they are without a family. In the United States alone there approximately 127,000 children

America's Homeless Children
I totally missed last months post with all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season but I am back to touch your heart again.
This month I would like to focus on the children that are closer to home for us. There are many children that are in America that are are in desperate need of a home. Actually a family. These children may not be orphans in the strictest definition of the word but they are without a family. In the United States alone there approximately 127,000 children that are without a family. Now that is a lot of children. I know that not everyone can take a child into their home but we can be praying for these children. I Care About Orphans has a page with the number of orphans in each state Orphans in your state Now keep in mind that this was done in 2006 so the number could be greater or less.
So for the month of Januaury I would like everyone to bring the issue a little closer to home by having you pray for the orphans in your state.

I think that you bring up a bunch of great points. There are also children who may not be orphans but who are living on the streets with their parents because they have no home any longer. This problem will continue to increase with the economic tides!
