"Look up to the sky; you'll never find rainbows if you're looking down." Charlie Chaplin, Swing High Little Girl
When I heard this quote, I knew what I wanted to name this site.
I'm looking up, confident that God has led me to Reece's Rainbows for a reason.
Children with disabilities, mostly those with Down Syndrome, are still His children. And He has called to us, Christians, time and again in His word to care for orphans.
Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.
James 1:27
Father to the fatherless, defender of widows — this is God, whose dwelling is holy. God places the lonely in families.
Psalms 68:5-6
Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows.
Isaiah 1:17
And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me.
Matthew 18:5
God's eyes don't see landlines. He doesn't determine who is His child and who is not based on a country's economic success, corrupt government, or any other conditions.
I truly hope that each of you will read this and realize God's call to help the orphans. We all have our "causes" that we believe in; but these are children. They are not a disease, they are not an illness. They do not need a cure. They need love. They need family. There are so many that don't have either. And while the majority of us don't know how to cure diseases or illnesses, we do know how to love, and we know how to provide for a family.
