Well, all I can say is God moves in mysterious ways.... I few months back, I was given an opportunity to work with underprivledged children in a nearby city.... I accepted without even thinking! Throughout this journey I have found out many things about myself, like for one, I am not the strongest person, I have never shed so many tears for so many young souls... Souls that haven't yet had a chance, souls that haven't even experienced a hug or a loving word. My first day, I held a two year old boy for FOUR hours, all he wanted was to sit on a womans lap, he had never felt this from his mother, and never will :( It touched me so very deeply, I even felt guilt, guilt that I have passed these city streets numerous times and never once thought that here were children who were neglected, abused and told they were unwanted, never told they were loved or worth anything, I told that little one how very much God loved him and how very much *I* loved him, and he smiled that cute smile of a two year old and said, really???? I said YES, and I wanted him to know that out there somewhere was a Mommy and Daddy that God had chosen for HIM, and that made HIM so SPECIAL. So my days and months were filled with so many emotions that only recently have I been able to write about these things, my time is coming to an end there shortly, in December actually, and I am then moving on with a group of ladies to another city, we will be doing nothing but rocking tiny, little babies that were abandoned and abused.... I know God is telling me something pivotal, I can not wait to learn all He is trying to show me through this... maybe that I take my nice warm home, loving hubby and wonderful children for granted.... Maybe I, like others have closed my eyes to the traumas of these innocents, but let me tell you this, I will NEVER look into the face of a child, ANY child the same ever again. They are ALL wonderous, beautiful gifts from the Master Himself, each to be held lightly and touched gently. So know that I have that all out, I feel that my life has now taken on a deeper more meaningful purpose, is this the purpose I have sought after all these years? Only time will tell.
On another note, we have been dealing with my DH and his broken leg, he broke it so serverely, he had surgery recently but he is on the mend and I am thankful for that, you dont realize how much you depend on his strong muscles until YOU are the on hauling in groceries and moving out the trash and this and that and on and on!
