Some good friends of ours are doing respite this weekend for a 3 year-old little boy and a 9 month-old little girl.  These kiddos foster mama just put in her notice.

J asked for prayers. 

We prayed about the big feelings everyone was probably having.  M and J with a nervous excitement, their kiddos being excited and a little unsure, and the foster kiddos being scared.

Middle Boy wanted us to pray the foster kids would be able to relax and know that they were in a good safe home that wouldn't hurt them.  Younger Boy also wanted to pray they weren't confused and scared.

It was good for us to talk about.  I doubt people ever really asked them much how they were feeling every time they went to respite or to a new home.  This was pretty healing to them, because they were able to talk about how they felt when they were "little".

Prayers for M and J as they do respite this weekend and moving forward.
