I am truly going to miss this little girl. ❤️
Her parents gave me this beautiful card several days ago, but I finally had a quiet moment to sit down and really read their words. As I read it, my heart was so full.
They truly believed that I was the gift God sent to their family, but the truth is, they were a gift from God to me.
Every family I accept into my care is more than just an enrollment. I truly believe God sends each family to me for a reason and places these precious little ones in my life exactly when they are meant to be there.
I am so incredibly blessed to have some amazing families in my program, but there is no greater gift they can give me than the opportunity to love and care for their precious little ones each day.
Stevie was on our waiting list for six months, and I remember how excited I was when her family finally chose Gifts of Faith Learning Center and entrusted their sweet girl to me. What an honor it has been to love her, nurture her, teach her, pray over her, and watch her grow.
These children may come into my home as students, but they quickly become so much more. They become a part of my heart, a part of our family, and a part of the story God is writing through Gifts of Faith.
Saying goodbye is never easy, especially when you have loved a child so deeply. This part is always so incredibly difficult
Stevie, my sweet girl, I am going to miss you more than you know. I will miss your little personality, your sweet face, your laughter, and all of the little moments that made you so special to us.
Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your life. Thank you to your parents for trusting me with your most precious gift and for choosing me to love and care for her.
My prayer is that God will continue to protect you, guide your little footsteps, and surround you with love, joy, and beautiful people everywhere you go.
Always remember, sweet girl, that you will forever have a special place in my heart and at Gifts of Faith Learning Center.
You were never just a little girl in my care.
You were a gift from God. And I will forever be grateful that He trusted me with you. ❤️🙏🏽
Until we meet again, sweet Stevie. I love you always.
