Our son's uncle, his prior guardian, wanted to come and visit from the village. My first reaction was NO, as he was very cruel to our son. But, we explained to Elijah that we were his parents and that we would not let anything bad happen to him. We also shared with him how he could show the love of Jesus to his uncle. All went well, despite the fact that the uncle is not a very pleasant man {too much alcohol and war}. <br /><br />The Lord will show you. trust Him.<br /><br />SummerMama in Ugandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17917910829934315863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4889285100215644787.post-34897364871640634272011-02-20T18:41:58.369-06:002011-02-20T18:41:58.369-06:00That sure is a tough decision.
