He came from a place no one
likes. No one wants to go. People use it as a joke and an offence. He’s nearby playing now, carefree and seemingly
innocent. Someone mentions that he is
from that place. “They are real a
lot there, and yet this one was chosen.”
“Yes, he is the blessed one.” Blessed.
God chose to bless this little boy.
To bless him with love, home and family.
To bring him from a place no child should have to be. God chose to use this little boy's life to bless the kids at GSF. To give them the
blessing of seeing that, out of things the world sees as curses, God can give us
blessings.
The little two-year-old snuggles up
close. Several illnesses and more medicines
than you can imagine often make her sick. She vomits every day and is pretty
malnourished. However, she doesn’t stay
down very long. She is often found
wobbling around with her little tongue sticking out, full of joy. Joy. The very thing she wouldn’t be expected
to have, but she is full of it. Just as
God chose to bless us with the 6-year-old boy, he chose to give us a new joy
through this 2-year-old girl. To give her
the joy of family, love and hope. To
give us joy through her.
Rejoice with us for the way God is
blessing these kids and us. Please also
keep them in your prayers as they adjust to life at GSF. Especially pray for
this sweet girl to gain health again soon.
