I've had this happen to me twice.
Both times it made me feel good and kinda weird at the same time...Like, did I do the right thing?
The first time was at Wal-Mart. This kid in overalls was running away from her mom. I grabbed the kid by the straps (I used to LOVE being carried like this. Evidently so did Runaway Child #1.) and brought 'er back to her mommy. (About 15 feet away).
The second time was at the library. Some kid had lost his dad. I asked where his mom was. "At home," he said.
So we looked around for a minute and I engaged him in conversation. "Where's your daddy?"
"I dunno."
After a while, I took him to the info desk (after we looked in the downstairs sections). They took care of him.
A couple of hours later, I asked if they found Isaac's daddy.
They did.
The thing is, now I'm wondering if I shouldn't've just left well enough alone...
And now I'm wondering why God just won't go ahead and give me my own children already.
