Because we are a SAFE HOUSE...

In our county..

We sometimes get calls for respite for kiddos at all hours of the night.....

We had a young child added to our bedtime routine tonight.

She joined us this morning at 4am after a LONG night of stress..

She's worn down..
Sweet..
She's weary..
Sad...
Lonely...
Love Starved..

I have already shed many tears for this sweet one.. She could be ME or any of my kids...

Please pray that we will show HIS LOVE to this precious one..
To the least of these.... Just as our Father has shown us.

Pray that our entire family will learn a lesson in true love and compassion as we care for this sweet one.. And that we NOT take the things God has blessed us with spiritually & materially for granted.

Pray that the words that I speak to her come straight from him..
Pray that the 72 hours we spend with her will some how, impact her life...

Pray that I can rest tonight and the thoughts of her life and struggles will escape my mind just until morning..My heart is in pieces for her...

When we lived in KC, we did the same thing. I remember those 72 hours - so much goes on internally and externally during those days. Will be praying for you all!!!

Tears my heart in two to read this. Oh, how I ache for all these little ones. So glad she got you to comfort her in this horribly scary time. Prayers to her and your family.

Praying with you. I hope she finds a safe, loving, forever family soon or if the case is she returns to the current home, her caretakers are rested, renewed, and able to better love. My heart hurts for these little ones. Thank you for sharing Him.

Wow. I can't imagine. She is lucky to have you, if only for a few hours.
