A picture,
so they say, is worth a thousand words.
But every once in a while a picture needs
a thousand words to explain it!
A few days
ago I posted a picture on social media, a photo my daughter snapped of me
feeding a baby with two other children climbing on my lap and another little
guy getting ready to give me a hug. The
caption reads, Such a joy! And it is 100% true! In that one moment, there is nothing else I
would rather be doing and nowhere else I would rather be! My days as a foster parent are often full of
smiles and kisses and snuggles. It truly
is the #bestjobever!
What the picture
does not show, however, and what the caption does not fully describe, are the people
in the picture. The real-life people
with real-life struggles, doing the best we can to love one another. Individuals, sometimes even strangers, whose
lives are being intertwined to create this thing we call family.
