There are many ways a person can do good things, but fostering children who need to be loved is one of the best.
Being a foster parent certainly falls into this admonition. Fostering helps children that need help. But like all things as we give of ourselves we become enriched. Opening our families to those who need to be a part of a healthy family not only helps them but also enriches our lives. Having these children share a part of their lives with us enriches us. We are enriched because we grow as a result of sharing another’s life joy, and pain. It is impossible to give without receiving.
I invite you consider fostering as a way to fulfill yourself and do complete the purpose for which you were placed here.
