We had no idea that when we said yes to 2 more that we would only have them for 2 weeks. It was hard to see them go, for us and for them. He sat on Gary's lap and cried and cried. He was happy here and we felt so bad. But, when you are a foster parent, you have no choice. You love them while you can and pray that the choices that are being made for them, by the system, are for their good. We pray daily for them and just remind ourselves that God is in control. He sees and knows what we do not. But it still is just so! d a r n! hard! to love and let go.

So sorry Tina. It must be like hosting, only you don't know when they're leaving :( Saying goodbye at the airport just ripped my heart out, but it was so worth it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Erin. Yes it is so worth it. And the joy that comes from doing what God has called us to do. : )
