A total stranger was doing some work at a neighbor’s home while we were out front doing yard work. Before he left, he came by to introduce himself, and hands us cookies out of the truck because “I saw your van, and the only people I know who drive a van like that are Foster Families, so these are for you.” I then recognized him as half of the couple who won Arkansas Foster Parents of the Year, last year. These wonderful people have welcomed 60+ children into their home and family over the years, they have a house full of teenagers, and here they are giving US cookies, inviting us to join their circle of support, and showing us by example that sometimes it takes very little to give encouragement and say “I see you.”
