The theme for today was God's love. The children easily received this good news. The teachers had many questions about how to love the unlovely---but they questioned how to love troublesome peers, not the children. They have no problems loving these children. This is grace.
We saw God's love in so many places this week: the patience of the interpreters, the kindness of one child to another, the goodness of the mission team, the perseverance of the SERI team. There are so many gifts, talents, and skills offered to this trip. Tracie had her beautiful flute absolutely mesmerized the children. Steve H. and Bryan was able to clearly communicate the foundational lesson for the day. Pam was a kind and thoughtful leader, day after day afer day. Kim and Linda are the Craft Queens! Our devotions and lesson prepared by Ruth Ann blessed our souls and spirits.
I feel like I've been preparing, all my life to work with these orhpanage teachers this week. It was like a dream but clearly reality with colors and sounds I'll never forget.
Time is up, others are waiting for the computer....I am thankful.
