Our two sweet foster children came back a few days ago. They were so glad to see us. We just picked up right where we left off and every thing has been pretty smooth. The poor children don't know whether they are coming or going. It is just so sad, hard, ridiculous really, that a child has to be put through this. We are glad we can be there for them and at least provide some sort of stability for a while. It is amazing what they think and what is reality. It is our hope that by the time they leave that we can put good in to their little hearts and minds and take away some of the stuff.
I saw the following picture today. People question why we take more children; why we take on the extra stuff; why we put our family through this. But I think, what would God do? What does He ask us to do? Are you just giving lip service or doing what He put you here to do? I want to get to the end of my life and know that I have lived a life worthy of standing before Him.

I'm so happy they came back. I really was so sad to see them leave! I can't imagine how hard it is for them to come and go like that. Hosting was so hard for me… but absolutely worth it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin. It is so hard but you are exactly right, it is worth it to help these children!
