Episode 148: Positive Imprints and Taking a Chance on Foster Kids

Aug 14, 2022

We are so often triggered by negative things that happen, but what about the positive things? This episode features a story of our son and the time we picked up a homeless lady on our way to McDonald's, and how that left a serious impression on his soul. Our call to action - take a chance. Say kind things, do kind things for others. And also, don't discount foster kids as broken and bad. They are not castaways of people who don't want them. They are humans who are able to accomplish great things and to be great. We just need to take a chance on them.
