Good morning world. Been thinking this morning about God. One of our foster kids does not believe in God. I have not really talked to them about this, Patrick has but I think the kid was just being polite as I found out later he had tuned Patrick out.
I guess I do not understand the rational of not believing. All I have to do is look around me, all around. Usually when I go camping, I feel really close to God. All of His creation is around me. I see God's love in the smiles of my children. I can hear it in their laughter.
I have had doubts in the past about what I believe. At times when I have prayed so hard and so long for something, I have been discouraged. When I had fertility problems, I prayed, I begged, I cried, I bargained with God for me to be able to get pregnant.
God had different plans for my life. If I had become pregnant and had babies of my own, I might not have ever become a foster parent. Then I would not have been blessed with my 3 boys!
Other than showing my foster kid God's love and God's grace on a daily basis, I am not sure what else to do. Except pray.
My prayer for this kid and others is for their hearts to be soften, someone to be placed in their path to lead them to Christ, and for them to receive the love that is given to them.
Be blessed and be a blessing,
Some of my thoughts and actions,
Elizabeth
