Seasons

Wow, what a service at church today. It really spoke to my heart. I have this one kiddo and his parents should not be parents. I love him and I see progress in his social skills. The problem is, the mom has moved him across town and out of my district. I may lose him. My heart has been heavy all weekend, just thinking about it. There was a woman, today, at church, who talked about having to give up her foster children, after having them for a year. She talked about mourning the loss and her heart breaking. She also said that God only gave those boys to her for a season and as bad as it hurt, that's all she was given. I got it. Just a season. Just a while in Mrs. Russell's class. I do what I can and then I MUST let them go. That's tough. It's what makes me a great teacher and it's what hurts me too.

Casey and his family came for brisket last night. Casey dressed out, but didn't get to play. The Falcons won 72-0. The doolies had to do pushups each time the Falcon's scored. That was a total of 410 pushups. Poor freshmen. It was good to be with Casey's parents. The more we see them, the more I know why we like Casey so much.

Laura, Becca, Tom and myself worked hard yesterday around the house. We didn't go to the Balloon Fest because we had the old BBQ going and then we found out they didn't lift off due to fog. It looked foggy this morning, so again, we didn't go. Of course they lifted off an hour late. We will try again tomorrow. Maybe try the balloon glow tonight.

Happy Sunday all.
