God broke my heart today.
It wasn’t during a church service or some extravagant revelation.
It was actually through the movie Despicable Me.
I had one child (Gift) sitting in my lap, one falling asleep on me, and Natando leaning her head on my shoulder. When I saw the three orphans in the movie, it reminded me of the ones sitting around me. I became really sad at the realization that in Swaziland, these children cannot be adopted. Not only that, but they do not have the little things that parents do for them. These children do not know what it means to be tucked in at night. They do not have anyone to read them bedtime stories and kiss them goodnight. Even hugs are far and few
between. I can’t even imagine growing up without this, but all of these children do.
God reminded me that we should be so grateful for having parents. I cannot imagine growing up without those memories. So thank you to my parents who have given me so much. I love you very much.
