Healthy Children

Yesterday I was watching this awful story about India's s** slave children. How sad this was... Then it hit me, what am I doing to make sure my children do not end up the same way as these poor little children. Am I spending the time with them necessary to help them be happy children in life? Am I teaching them right from wrong correctly? Am I provided for all of their needs? Then I realized what am I doing to help the other children. I know Craig and I are foster parents now, yet we have no children in our home. I think this episode helped me to realize that every child is God's child and that no matter if it came from my belly or not. These children God gives me are my children to protect and love unconditionally as Christ loves me. I pray that I can love them with the love they deserve. I want our ministry to full of Christ, and I pray that every child that walks through our door will be changed because of Christ! We need to pray for children in general so many children are becoming s** slaves. We do not realize the impact on them, since most of us have never understood this lifestyle. These children need love... Thank you God for my healthy and happy children!

Yey! I guess you're up and running now!

I met a lady the other day that reminded me of you. She was a foster mom and adopted 3 young children (siblings). Since adopting them, she now only does fostering of teens I believe.

I think it is very cool that you have such a heart for children in need!
