my foster parent prayer

So today was a rough day. I took the kids to their first visit at their mom's house. It made the whole returning home process real for me. Then I remembered why we do this, for those precious babies. Our mission statement for this calling is to show every child in our home unconditional love, God's love, even if it is only for a day. So I pray this never gets easy. I pray I never harden myself to the pain of letting them go. If I don't get my heart broke every time then I am not fully loving these kids with my whole heart and they deserve to have every part of me! Not to mention if I closed myself off I would miss the best part of it all which is the precious innocent love I get in return! Thank you God for giving me tons of tiny footprints on my heart!
