While on the GAT in Billings, I met a young boy Dionne, age 8yrs, who was out soul-winning with his family at the Crow Reservation. As I sat down next to the boy he said ” I do not belong to anyone, I am a foster child and I belong to the State of Montana.” I spoke with him for about 15 minutes and explained to him that I too had been in a foster home for a while when I was a child. I told him that God had placed him with this family and that they were his brothers and sisters. I said to him that even if God were to move him someplace else in the days to come that they would always be his family and love him. I then told him that I never wanted to hear him ever say again that he did not belong to anyone. I left for a moment and when I returned his foster mom said “Dionne, I am your aunt didn’t you know that?” He replied, “I had no idea that you were my aunt.” As he said this he just looked stunned. Apparently no one had ever thought to tell him and his sister that their foster parents were really their aunt and uncle. A few days later the mother came up to me and said ” thank you for talking with Dionne the other day. He has been like a different child since then.” Apparently he and his sister had been going back for visitations with their mother and they were having a very hard time. The aunt told us later in the week that they had decided to file for custody of Dionne and his sister. She again thanked me for taking the time to talk to Dionne. I explained to her that I was honored that God had allowed me to be a part of healing one little boy’s heart.
