I caught this on another blog and for some reason it really choked me up.
Rejection. Mental illness. Behavior disorders. School problems. Poor choices. Physical/Sexual/Emotional abuse. Drug/alcohol exposed before birth. Teen pregnancy. Angry. Neglected. Depressed. Hopeless. Alone.
These are just some of the tattered cardboard signs kids have carried with them into our home. It's good to be reminded that our feeble efforts to meet the tremendous need are not the answer. It may take many years but we hold on to the hope that on the flip side of those raggedy signs is a whole new life and reality in Jesus.
