Today I had a pretty mellow morning...Yesterday was all about poop, children and animal craziness. But today I am tired. The 4 month old woke up almost every hour last night so I had a hard time getting up today. My 3 year old foster child woke me up at 7am. I dream of being the kind of mommy that gets up before her family and makes a gorgeous breakfast and looks gorgeous herself but LOL. It is just one of my many goals. The baby had a home visit with his mom so they picked him up at 9:30am. I pulled a bin of toys out that I had put up for a few months for my 3 year old to play with and kept him busy while I worked and cleaned. Then I set things aside for a little and played toys, puzzles and did activitiy books with him. This week I have so many appointments with the foster children that today is my catch up day. I love doing foster care but it sure keeps me busy. I have 3 older children, 20,17 and 15 so somedays I think what the heck am I doing! Then I remember that God said to take care of the fatherless and that is what I was once. I had a bio dad, then a step dad, and now I have a real Father. Thank you Jesus for that reminder and that gives me strengh to be the kind of mommy that these children need today. One day at a time.
James 1: 27 Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.
