tell your wife I love you too! I love your spirit and the fact that we both carry God’s broken arrows (the lost babies). I’ve taken in a few, not nearly as many as you and mine weren’t in the system ( I call them spiritual adoptions)...I don’t know how parents throw those precious treasures away

You are truly a blessing to others. My brother was in prison for 10 years and he came to know God very well through a pastor that came there. It’s nice to hear God’s using you to help others. God took my mother almost 2 weeks ago. And sometime I get angry, but I know she’s in a better place and is no longer suffering. God bless you and your family.
