This has been a hard week for our family.  We have had a little boy since he was 3 months old and this week he was returned to his birth mother.  This is one of thoes things where you just have to trust the Lord.  We arent foster parents.  This was a young girl that we knew and after having her baby taken by childrens services, she asked us to take him.  So, he has been part of our family for the last year and a half.  We were Momma and Daddy to him, and all that he knew.  My heart breaks and we have spent this week praying and grieving.

I am amazed at my children though.  They are so strong.  They have been so sad and yet so trusting on our Heavenly Father.  The prayers that have come from their little mouths have been such a blessing to me this week.  They have been thoes of thanksgiving!  As they ask for strength and understanding they also thank our Lord for all he has given us!

I know that this little miracle inside me is a gift.  I can see even more now how perfect our Lords timing is.  He gives and he takes away amen? 

Here are the children together at Easter this year. They were at the nursing home where Gary preaches on Sundays.
