Sometimes being involved in foster care is heart breaking... I mean utterly, heart breaking. Things have gone on this week that I can't write here. But I can say that every single child who walks through your doors touches your heart in some way. And when you hear sad things about them, it breaks your heart into pieces.
I have held on to my boys so tightly thanking the Lord for taking them out of their situations long before they will remember them. I pray that my boys will know absolute love. I pray that they will see God in us. This song below portrays exactly how my husband and I feel about loving our children.
Phillips Craig & Dean - I Want to Be Just Like You Lyrics
*Lord, I want to be just like You
'Cause he wants to be just like me
I want to be a holy example
For his innocent eyes to see
Help me be a living Bible, Lord
That my little boy can read
Lord I want to be just like You
'Cause he wants to be like me
He climbs in my lap for a goodnight hug
He calls me Dad and I call him Bub
With his faded old pillow and a bear named Pooh
He snuggles up close and says, "I want to be like you"
I tuck him in bed and I kiss him goodnight
Trippin' over the toys as I turn out the light
And I whisper a prayer that someday he'll see
He's got a father in God 'cause he's seen Jesus in me
*Got to admit I've got so far to go
Make so many mistakes and I'm sure that You know
Sometimes it seems no matter how hard I try
With all the pressures in life I just can't get it all right
But I'm trying so hard to learn from the best
Being patient and kind, filled with Your tenderness
'Cause I know that he'll learn from the things that he sees
And the Jesus he finds will be the Jesus in me
Right now from where he stands I may seem mighty tall
But it's only 'cause I'm learning from the best Father of them
