Good morning world! Such blessings in my home today! I have 6 kids in my home this weekend, my 3, my new 2, and a friend of the boys. This morning there is no extra drama. Just the sounds of everyone getting up, dressed, getting chores done. Ready for the day.
It is these days that make the hard days easier to take. God's grace and love can be felt here now. Even when those cannot be felt, they are here.
I have heard that others could not be foster parents because they would get too attached and it would hurt to much when the kids went back to their parents.
Getting attached is a good thing for these kids. They are in care for a reason. A lot of them have attachment problems, so if they get attached to you, that is a good thing. Us getting attached to them is not a bad thing either.
Our primary goal as foster parents is to provide a safe place for these kids. There is a lot that goes into this simple statement. In our home, we want the kids to know that they are loved no matter what.
Does it hurt when kids leave our home? Yes it does. But I happen to think the time and blessings I get from the kids being in our home is worth the hurt!
What about you? Could you share your home and heart to be a foster parent?
Be blessed and be a blessing!!
Just some of my thoughts and actions,
Elizabeth
