Shakespeare had this concept all wrong....I have no idea what he was thinking when he wrote "parting is such sweet sorrow"....there is nothing sweet about it. It is awful!
We left the kids tonight, and it was crazy. Literally the children were wailing (to the point the neighbors came over to find out which child had died because they were sobbing so much!). It was heart shredding....
Each of us had an amazing time. We love these children, these workers, and this country. We are so thankful to Rodney and Cathy for letting us come and taking such great care of us.
Thankyou to each of you who have prayed, gave, and have supported us, Rodney & Cathy, and these children. We cannot tell you enough how much we appreciate it.
Leaving tonight, I cannot help but state the obvious...it is so unfair to be an orphan. It breaks my heart to know that these children do not have a mother and a father. Sure, I totally get the concept that they are being taken care of. Pastor and Madame Aristild are phenomenal with them, but there is something drastically wrong with this concept. These kids need a family....they need love...and most of all they need people to point them to the Lord!!!
Will you consider adopting? Will you allow God to use you in such an amazing way that you will never be able to comprehend the scope of its impact?
