Yesterday evening I was on duty helping to care for the babies in the children’s home. There are two of them living there currently: a 5 month old and a 6 month old. I have fallen in love with them. They are absolutely adorable. Kenneth is this happy, go-lucky little guy. He almost never cries, can drink a bottle like nobody’s business (and therefore is quite the large boy), and loves to sit on your lap and swing on the swings. Hannahleah is gorgeous. She is this tiny little thing and a little spitfire. When she looks up into my face with her beautiful brown, almost black eyes, it’s over. My heart is stolen.
They are both fighting colds currently so were awake more than usual on my shift, and needed to be held. I had opportunities throughout the evening with both of them to just cuddle them, pray over them, and love them. At one point I was standing in the nursery snuggling Kenneth and he fell asleep in my arms. I was praying for him, staring out the window at the gorgeous mountain scenery in the background and was overwhelmed by this reality….
It’s just one of the reasons….
But, THIS is why I am on The World Race.
