Thank you for your prayers, Ruth. I know every one counts! I appreciate you sharing your post, too. It’s encouraging to be reminded to keep my eyes on Jesus instead of the mountains that I *think* I can move without him.

Your words encourage me very much, June: “We often underestimate the value of our presence in the lives of others. May we all be in tune to the Holy Spirits guidance in this regard.” Amen, sister!

I appreciate what you’re sharing, Lux. I love hearing that God indeeds sends people our way, and that he will send just the right people into little Caleb’s life!

Thanks for your prayers for this week fellow, Valerie! I do believe that God hears each prayer and honors our requests. I can’t imagine how you teachers have done it through the years, loving and then watching the kids move on, for better or worse.

Just now getting this comment, Sharon, or I would have replied sooner. I appreciate your tender heart in feeling deeply for Caleb yourself. Thank you for praying for him and for the people that will come into his life next. I know God hears our prayers so, Lord, we are counting on you!

This is important for me to read, Lori. I can’t imagine having my heart break like this every year with a new set of kids (and I’m not even the teacher but just the teacher’s mom!). So yes, it is a lesson to trust God more! Thanks for sharing your experience about your daughter too. I can’t imagine how that felt to watch the other kids’ eyes. 🙁

You praying for your grandkids’ future spouses—that’s a huge blessing, Jean. They may or may never be aware of it, but God already sees in advance who those sweet family members will be and must be so pleased by your attention to these future generations!

(Sorry I’m just now getting your comment, Lori!) So these little fellows stick in your mind even years afterwards, huh? That’s good to hear yet daunting as well. It’s a blessing to them that you continue to pray even this much later! Thanks for sharing this.

Yes, we must keep holding out hope for those who can’t hope for themselves. Thanks, Sarah!

Thanks, Michele. Can’t wait to hear more about how your job goes!
