Cry Out to Jesus

When I first heard this song by Third Day I was struck by how it nailed so much of the anguish that we have seen since entering the whole world of foster care. Peaches came to live with me just four months after the death of her mom. During that time, Ana had a teenage foster son (who we still love dearly but who no longer lives with us) who struggled with drug addiction as did his parents before him. The brokenness and devastation to lives and families caused by addiction, poverty, abuse, and mental illness is immense and we've seen it multiplied by the hundreds. May all those who are hurting cry out to Jesus and may those who believe in Him have ears to hear and courage to become His hands, feet, and heart to those who suffer.
