I was visiting with my neighbor tonight when she received a call from her daughter in law. She was asking if she could borrow the small mattress that her son uses when he spends the night at “Mimi’s”. My neighbor explained that her son and his wife are involved in an organization that is similar to the fostering program, but different. This organization does it’s best to help families before they get into a situation where the children are taken into the foster care system. They offer classes and training to help the mom and dad be good parents. And they offer respite, which is why they needed the additional mattress. My neighbor’s son and his wife will be housing 4 children from a household in which the mother really needs a break. The children will be with them for the weekend, along with the 2 young boys of their own. I was in awe of the love, generosity and courage of this family to host 4 additional children in this way. They are truly doing God’s work.

I Found God today in a generous and loving family.
