Just a reminder that there ARE countless Good People in this world! :)
Beautiful story, God bless!
This story brings a tear to my eye. I grew up poor but never hungry. Great parents can do that.
Damn…I read that, now I have something in my eyes causing the screen to get blurry…..
What a beautiful story and a wonderful family. God bless them all
Now, that is a wonderful story.
Thanks so much for posting this.
Just as in that song, oftentimes
“All you need is love” and a sense of duty to create a strong basis, set you up for whatever life throws at you.
I concur with your sentiments.
Oh my, that one got to me.
Both of my parents grew up poor and did better than OK. I keep a picture of my Momma, a very skinny little girl in a crisp white dress with a ribbon in her hair and a big smile, on the front porch of what would be as shack of a house today. She is standing there with her Momma, Poppa and 11 siblings. They all made good and they all had lots of love and guidance.
For all of her 92 years she showed me what determination and dignity are and that they don’t know status.
“Damn…I read that, now I have something in my eyes causing the screen to get blurry…..”
What a coincidence. Me too.
Man, someone must be cutting onions nearby. I need a box of tissues.
That qualifies for Norman Vincent Peale type accolades. What a perfect Thanksgivingn story.
What an inspirational story...thanks for posting!
Something for us all to be thankful for, that this family and you are filled with the grace of God, which is love.
Fostering is hard, but it is worth it. We love fostering and we love when they become ours. Nice article!!
awesome story...thank you so much for sharing it!
Posting through tears. Thanks for sharing.
That was a nice read. Thanks for posting it.
Forget athletes, politicians and actors.... This mother is an American Hero. How I wish the whole country was made of people like this.
God bless America and may we as a nation repent and turn to people of justice, mercy and walk with Him!
Beau and his late wife fostered 14 kids through their home. He’s still in touch with two of them. The boy (now a man) still has physical and mental issues, but he’s come a long, long way from the cr@ppy hand life dealt him to begin with.
He adores Beau and calls him ‘Dad,’ which is pretty special. :)
