Prayers of a child

Little Guy is with his family. Yesterday was very hard. Our youngest son was very sad. He said, "I prayed to God that we could keep Little Guy if we were the right family. I guess we are not the right family, they are". It broke my heart for him. I assured him that Little Guy's family is the right place for him, and that it's okay if he is sad because we lost someone we love. My son wanted to keep Little Guy. He put his trust in God and prayed. God answered his prayer, just not in the way he wanted. He is accepting of that and is not bitter for not getting what he wanted. The faith and prayers of a child is something we all can learn from.


In other news: Lovebug's mom did not show for a visit this week. First time ever. She has never missed a visit. I am concerned. Maybe it is nothing, she could be sick or something. But she didn't call and cancel, so I don't know.

I hope that when our time comes we are able to handle it as bravely.

I'm not so brave. The circumstances were the best that we could have hoped for in this case. Returning a child that you have had for an extended time and to the people who have hurt them in the first place is horrible. Little Guy went to a safe home.
