The Ministry of the Ping Pong Ball

I truly never thought much of all the craziness that goes on in order to place a child.  I knew that they have to find homes for these children, but oh! what those DYFS workers go through!

In the past week we received many referrals... one was a set of 3 boys (we had to turn away b/c we don't have 3 big kid beds for boys), a severely traumatized boy who would have put our own children in jeopardy, 2 boys for temporary placement (the worker decided to keep them in their emergency placement), and today we received a call for a 1 year old girl and her 4 year old brother (they ended up in a different placement before we received the message).  So- all week has been YEAH! awwww..... YEAH!  awwww..... YEAH!  awwwwww..... and such is the life and ministry of a ping pong ball.

Either way, Lord Jesus, we are here for Your using!  Help us to use wisdom and discernment as you send us your hurting children.
