We had a case
facilitation today for one of
our foster children and we were discussing
the need for summer school for this child
in order for her to have the credits
she needed to
graduate on time with her class.
This was going to be an expensive issue and
the state no longer had funding to cover
such things.
We were going to
lunch after the meeting ,
when I asked if we could stop at the
jewelry store on the way home and
with a smile on his
face,
my Dear Hubby replies, "sure."
We drive a few more
blocks and he brings
up the subject of the child's need for
summer
classes. He says, "Honey, why don't
we pay for the classes our self and just not
say anything, and I agreed.
I then say, "I have
changed my mind about
the earrings as it is not something that I
really need, and the money would
definitely be going
to a much better cause."
At this point we
both have tears of happiness,
knowing God would be pleased with this
decision.
After school, we
explained to the child that
she would be able to go to summer school
after all. At first there is much
skepticism,
then the barrage of questions come as
to how this was going to get paid for.
We tried going all
around the subject,
to no avail. She wanted answers before
she would agree to this.
We knew the truth
would be better so we told
her of our plan. At first she was adamant
that this was not fair to me and she wanted
no part of it. She said, "You can't do this,
it is my fault that
I have to go to summer school."
Then, all of a
sudden, you could see the
facial features softening, tears glistening
in her eyes, a beautiful smile immerges
and the love is shining in her young eyes
and
I say to myself,
"Thank you Lord, for answering another
prayer."
Happy Father's Day
My Darling Husband!
You are one awesome
father and husband.
God will always
make sure your needs are met.
