Some Would Say

Some would say school break is not the time to go to the Aquarium. 

There is a realistic fear of hassle, and inconvenience, and it not being what you hoped it would be. There are unknowns, which cannot be answered until you decide to go and are experiencing it. You don't know how you or your children will react to the chaos or unmet expectations.

When you go, in spite of the many reasons to not go, you are taught amazing things and see what you never could have encountered if you had chosen to avoid it.

Some would say now isn't a good time to become a foster parent. 

And it is true that there will never be a perfect time to welcome a child through birth or foster care or adoption. There will be hassle and inconvenience whenever we love another. It will not mirror our exact hopes and expectations. There will be uncertainty and intermittent chaos no matter how your family is formed. 

When you go to the aquarium or become a foster parent, you are taught amazing things and encounter the beauty of God's creation. There is no perfect time for either, but both will fill you with awe and appreciation.
