Love Never Fails

Jerry and I attended a Gotcha Party on Thursday evening.  It was hosted by our niece, Jackie and her husband, Todd, in honor of their foster sons, Caden and Liam.  We gathered in their backyard with family and friends  to celebrate the amazing relationship that began one year ago when they agreed to be foster parents.  The party was complete with presents, ice-cream, cupcakes, and happy smiles everywhere!

Love was most certainly in the air and flowing freely between two precious little boys and all those who have come to know them.  What an amazing thing...love.  Love answered the question of trust that these little foster kids had when they first arrived.  Love answered all the "how-to's" that their foster parents must have had.  Love is God's world, and when we walk in it we can't anticipate or expect pain free lives.  The inevitable future separation from their foster children will be extremely painful for Todd and Jackie, but they're living in God's world, not their own.  His love brought them into it and His love will bring them through it.
