Thank you dear Knitting. You are a encouragement to me. We have been foster parents to special needs children for 30 years.Several are returning to their parents same sins! We hold them up in prayer constantly. My heart has been so filled with grief and pain. That is why I developed what has been the worse case of shingles. Dr. says they are " imbedded" , what ever that means.
Through this I have learned what real patience is. I am learning more about trusting God. Just taking Him at His Word.
Bless you for your fostering. I'm sure those who have strayed will come around.
A friend of mine used to say "in the meantime is *mean* time" - those long hours and days spent waiting for something good to happen.
I don't know what embedded means in regard to shingles, either - just had an outbreak of something that may have been shingles, so I certainly sympathize with the pain. I'm so sorry.
We just have to work harder at keeping the stress levels down - I know, easier said than done.
