Smiles of every shape and size, on different faces, depicting different emotions. The many places I have been have revealed these expressions from different people. They’ve told stories of heartache, relief, hope, joy, sorrow, and pure love. How do you capture the hundreds of smiles you see in a year, or even give out? The only way is in your heart and in the memories that they created.
It is because of you supporters that I am able to experience these smiles….to give, to receive, to make these memories.
The smile of a prostitute being told that she is worth something in Thailand
$20 in the states: 4 starbucks coffees (unless the prices have changed since I’ve been away), a night at the movies for 2; a good bottle of wine; a DVD; 5 boxes of cereal; a dinner out;
$20 on the World Race: feeds me for almost a week; feeds a community in the slums; houses me for 3- 4 days; pays for my foot surgery in a Thailand village; pays to buy a Thai girl and minister to her for a night; etc. etc.
Thank you all for your love and support….we will touch down in NYC on November 20……and the journey will just continue from there. May God bless you and keep you well!
