Pieces of My Heart



For almost 20 years, our home has been the temporary 'helping home' for over two dozen children.
Some long-term, some short-term, some just for a weekend, others adopted by friends.

In the past little while our family has had the unexpected opportunity to see two of our former foster children.
One, by way of a photo sent through an email of a friend who is in touch with the child's birth family.
The other, seen in passing by one of our family at a local mall.

Just knowing that they are growing and doing well brings a sense of satisfaction.
A place in our hearts for each one that has called this family 'home' for however short or long a time.

Pieces of my heart forever out there somewhere.

May their angels continue to watch over them and may all the prayers we poured into them be answered.

Hi again myrrha,The link i followed to get to your blog was through your favourite books-'God calling'
I too have a blog called '
'Looking for the good in life'
I started it as a result of lifes past events and trials and my finding a Power greater than all the chaos that seemed to be in my life at that time.
Everything has a hidden beauty when looking beyond the veil of human reasoning.
I found God (As i understand Him) 20 years ago and since then have been on a wonderful spiritual journey of self and surrender.
Many thanks again,love and Peace to you and yours-Ray-England
