Guatemala fills our hearts again today as we spend day 2
with these wonderful kids. Our
photographer was busy painting the hallway all morning, so we don’t have as
many pictures today…mostly the Canaries!
“Only one day with these beautiful kids and they open their
arms, hug me and rest their heads on my shoulder. What a difference I can make just by sharing
love and laughter!”
“Today during the potty time for the Chicks, Jose started
lifting himself out of his pot and going back down, made a near perfect seal
with his bottom allowing a loud, gross sound.
At first I thought he was just doing his business and then I realized he
was making his friend Sara laugh! They
looked at me with huge smiles and we all started laughing!”
“Hector is the newest boy in the Dolphins, and he is still
incredibly restless. The only movement
he makes other than screaming for his mom is when he is being fed. Even though it breaks my heart, it reminds me
of something spiritual. Scripture tells
us that we groan along with all of creation because we know that something
greater is to come. Hector groans
constantly for his home and his mother.
We too share in this groaning as this world, as it is, is not our
home. We patiently await the coming of
our Lord and to be home with him for eternity!”
“Today we took the kids out to the pavilion to play
soccer. We all had a great time. Then we took the kids over to “fish” in the
plastic pool. They used open paper clips
at the ends of their poles to hook the fish.
One little girl fell forward into the pool and was quickly rescued.”
“When you look into the eyes of a child, you suddenly forget
all of your troubles. You feel one
emotion: LOVE.”
