02: A Loving Neighbour's Story (How He Became a Foster And Adopt Parent)
Today’s Guest: Phil Watson
Phil is from Liverpool, England. He has two birth children and one adopted child. Phil is a part-time school teacher and full-time adoption and fostering advocate. He loves to ride his bike everywhere, even if it means he has to carry it on his shoulder for a bit!
Here’s a summary of this week’s story:
Phil grew up in a Christian home, and from a young age, he was taught the importance of loving your neighbour and caring for the orphans. As he got older, Phil began to see how much need there was in the world for people to show love and compassion to those who were struggling.
He felt called to do something to make a difference in the lives of others, and so he and his wife decided to start fostering children. They have since adopted a child of their own, and they continue to provide a loving home for children in need. By trusting in God and obeying Him, Phil has found that God has given him a unique opportunity to live out the commandment to love his neighbour, and he is grateful for the ways that his life has been changed as a result.
Phil says that one of the best things about being a foster and adoptive parent is seeing the joy that comes into the children's lives when they are given a safe and loving home. Phil is just one example of how anyone can make a difference in the lives of others by showing love and compassion.
