Touching Hearts


The other day I went to the Welcome Center. I came back a bit emotional. I saw the Heart Gallery, a traveling exhibit is helping raise awareness about children in need of a home. How deeply I was touched by the photos and stories!

The exhibit features pictures of more that 50 foster children, some of whom have been placed recently in "forever families," others who have waited years...and are still not part of a loving family.

KOAA, Channels 5/30, covered the exhibit's appearance at FOF. Look for video here. Guest Relations Hostess Diane Ingolia was even quoted:

"The pictures really capture the personality and the spirit of each of the children and then to be able to read the biography on them-- just that short little phrase that makes your heart say 'oh, there's just so many children out there and maybe I can do something."

The Heart Gallery is on display at the at the Focus on the Family Welcome Center through February 25th.

Please take a few minutes to see this memorable gallery. And consider what God may be saying to your heart as you mull over the needs. I was sobered and quite moved. I prayed. How will you react? C'mon, take a few minutes and find out.
