One child at a time...

Fifty children. Ages six to eighteen. Living in one home. Sharing food, clothing, books, beds and one house mom.

Fifty children. So much in common, yet so diverse...

How does one show affection, talk about interests, help with homework, give advice, stop fights, provide activities and spend time equally with each child?

One child. What is he interested in? What does she talk about?

Football, hair, food, exercise, computers, dogs, music, girls, food, God, singing, movies, babies, boys, food...

One child. One child at a time...

Spend the moment you have with the child you are with as if it were the only moment you may ever be with them.

Love and live as Jesus did!
