Today was the most amazing day. It's so incredible how loving these kids are. I'm not ministering as much as these kids are ministering to me. They have no idea they are missing anything and the more time I spend with them, I realize that I am the one who's missing something. Love, compassion, contentment. They have it all.
We took a tour of the dump ground where most of these kids live and find their meals. The city will often dump the garbage on the sidewalks of this neighborhood so the residents can go through it before it is burned. I didn't take pictures of the dump because we felt it would be disrespectful. I don't want people taking pics of my house...Anyway, it left quite an impression on us. Most of the children at the school show up everyday in clean clothes and combed hair (although they may not leave the school that way because they are kids, after all) and we are amazed that the parents can get these kids so clean in such horrendous conditions.
I love my kids with all my heart. I never knew I had any more room to love more, but today, 300 more kids stole my heart.
