Episode 148: Positive Imprints and Taking a Chance on Foster Kids
08/14/22 • 23 min
We are so often triggered by negative things that happen, but what about the positive things? This episode features a story of our son and the time we picked up a homeless lady on our way to McDonald's, and how that left a serious impression on his soul. Our call to action - take a chance. Say kind things, do kind things for others. And also, don't discount foster kids as broken and bad. They are not castaways of people who don't want them. They are humans who are able to accomplish great things and to be great. We just need to take a chance on them.
Chapters: 0:00 - Intro 1:13 – Being Open and Honest About Adoption 9:01 – A Story About Birthdays and Imprints 22:303 – Good Word of the Day!!! Links: The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk M.D. Good Word of the Day!!! Isaiah 43:19 NIV 19 See, I am doing a new thing!
