We toured the countryside on the way to visit an orphanage. Because of some general complications, we were able to spend an extended period of time with the children. That is really what all children need, time, one-on-one time. To be able to look in their eyes and see a brightness begin to shine. We sang, played hand clapping games, tossed balls, took photos, tossed balloons, and Pastor Oleg shared a Bible story. To see children giggling with joy - when tossing balloons - that was a sight I am sure - seeing me chase a balloon. Hearing the giggles, seeing the smiles - I can't even describe it. We have all seen children with an infectious giggle - doesn't just the thought bring a smile to your face? The love of Christ was shared wth these little ones by just being present. Thank you Lord for the complications that allowed for this extended time.
