Sweet

Judah is loving having a mom and dad. When I pick him up and smooch him good he yells for the nannies to look. It's like he wants them to know that someone is crazy about him. And we are! I gave him an orange and a nut bar this morning. He shoves food in his mouth. I have meat and cheese for tonight's visit. He loves the food but really wants candy. I just can't give it to him. Poor boy needs some good food for awhile. Okay I'm a little soft. He will be getting ome ice cream from one of the street vendors near th orphanage. These people love their ice Cream and sweets. You walk past an ice cream stand every five minutes. No exaggeration. Then there are the sweet breads in every shop. I'm thinking a dentist would be a secure job here. So today I give Daniel his food and the other kids start going through our backpack and pockets. I told them no and this one little boy wouldn't stop. Finally when I wouldn't give him anything he raised his hand up to me and hissed at me. I really thought he was going to hit me. I felt really bad for him since we can't communicate and I mst seam really mean to not give him something too. The nannys don't like me giving Judah food so I can only imagine how they would respond to me giving it to other children. Speaking of nannies I met the nicest one today. She was so kind and gentle to Judah and the other children. You could see how much she cared. I'm thankful for her caring for Judah and the other children. Some I have met seem pretty cold. I met a few more today from other groups that seemed very caring also. BUT, the kids, they all want a papa and mama. It's hard to walk away from that. How do I walk away knowing that so many will never have that? I guess I have to but I wish, oh how I wish Christians would rise up to care for the orphans. I wish the church would light a fire in its people to give to these children what God has given to us. HOPE! Most of them have no hope. They will become street people or go into mental institutions and they will not hear the gospel! They will perish without knowing their savior. It is not for someone else to do we are here for this very purpose. Sometimes I think we believe (I'm preaching to myself too) this life is about us. Our comfort, our joy, our wants and desires. These orphans remind me that as a believer my life is not my own. Gods word tells us that we are bought with a price so we are to glorify God with our body. This is pure and undefiled religion that you care for widows and orphans in their distress. It doesn't say we all have to adopt, but we all have to care for them. So what do we do about that?
