Can I Make a Difference?

I wish I could add one more child to my list of those I have made a difference in their life. I fear that "one more" will never really quite make me feel my job is complete. I wish for the day when my life allowed for me to not work as many hours and give me time to be a foster parent to children who are in need. I know I have not parented perfectly, we have certainly made many mistakes along the way, but we love our boys beyond what words can say. I only wish that we could continue to add to the "quiver". Jim is my reality checker and reminds me that we have done something to make a difference. My reply, "If I could save but one more child..." I don't think this is a self inflicted burden. I honestly feel that God has placed this desire in my heart so that I can help. I need more time and resources to be able to accomplish this desire. So, if you are reading this, pray for me to be able to have that desire satisfied.
