Yesterday, Hula Boy told me that he colored a rainbow for me in Sunday School. I looked at it and smiled. His four year old drawing touched my heart. He said, “I colored a rainbow so you can make any color for your day.” To most this would be four year old babble. For me though it was a striking comment that made more sense than I think he realized.
With the colors of the rainbow you can practically make any color that is out there. With how I have been feeling lately I have tried to color my world a shade of rosey pink. Unfortunately, the circumstances of the past few months have overshadowed that rosiness and left it kind of muttled gray. I have let this hard time affect my own family.
This morning I am determined to shake the gray away and color my day with the brightness of life. I will count the many blessings bestowed on us and count on the ones that are to come.

I have not been writing because I have been very emotional over the outcome with the 5 little boys. My heart feels so heavy.
Last week the hearing was in session to set bail. The mother was emotionless and very angry. She was charged with neglect pending the outcome of the hospitilization of her youngest child. Also she was charged with assaulting the police officer. She will be doing time is my guess.
All of the boys minus the baby have been put into foster homes. I see the oldest every week at church. One of our church members has him as their foster child for now. They are working on getting her parenting rights revoked.

UPDATE - The baby passed away last night. His lungs were so damaged by the RSV and also from months of abuse his body could not take it. My heart is broken. I feel like I did not reach them in time. The mother will be charged with murder is my guess.

Please say a prayer for the family today.
