“Little Hands and Little Feet
Everywhere we go there are little hands and little feet.
Little feet that run towards us and little hands that reach out for high fives or to wave.
Little feet that will carry these little people far. Little hands that will make big things one day.
There are little eyes that watch so closely, that squint with smiles and laughter.
Little eyes that give you a glimpse into their souls. Joy, sadness, brokenness, hope.
Through five different countries I’ve met little hands and little feet that are so drastically different yet so wildly similar.
Little hands that just want to hold yours. Little feet that jump for joy.
Everywhere we go there are little hearts.
Little hearts longing to be seen and loved. Little hearts that carry not so little burdens.
Little hearts that are full of big dreams. Little hearts that long for something more.
Through five different countries I’ve met little hearts that are so drastically different yet so wildly similar.
Little hearts full of big feelings. Little hearts that just need the love of Christ.
And who knows, when those little hearts meet the love of Christ, those little hands and little feet just might change the entire world.”
This is a beautiful poem written by one of my beautiful teammates, Kayla. I call her Cake because she is so sweet. She loves children so much. Before we can even fully get in a door to meet them, you can find her with one already on her hip. We could one be there for 30 seconds and she will know a handful of their names, even the ones hardest to pronounce.
She sees them and shows them the love of the Father like no other. When our time has come and gone, I am confindent that they will always remember her and the love she showed them.
She especially loves children that have special needs and it has been beautiful to see God honor her passion by highlighting them in the ministries we have been involved in.
Little hands and little feet are very much a part of God’s plan; they are our future.
