Tonight, our devotion was about going through problems and how God may allow you to do that so you can help someone else later. I mentioned to Dee that she has the ability to help so many because she understands people who hurt. I used foster children as an example. She told me about a girl she befriended at day camp who is a foster child, but she doesn't know why. Did her parents die? She doesn't know. And then the part that impressed me most was that she mentioned how the girl doesn't have confidence. She said casually, "She uses a wheelchair." I was so impressed that she didn't start the conversation with the fact that girl was a foster child or that she uses a wheelchair. It means she really sees the girl for who she is.
We talked about how she might be a good and encouraging friend to this girl. Then we prayed.
I am so pleased with how that thought processed worked in her.
