We love Wednesday afternoons! I take creole lessons with Susan right after school while Cameron has tutoring and Ethan plays...THEN we go to the Creche. The boys and I and usually Susan and her girls walk down the streets of our neighborhood. They are muddy, narrow and littered with trash and yet they take us to an amazingly beautiful place. On the way there I pick up one of my old 4th graders who has an amazing heart! Audra is a beautiful young lady who loves to come with me and play with the kids.
When we get to the gate the kids just run to greet us. We can't even get fully into the gate before the hugs and kisses start...my kind of greeting! Huge smiles are shining on the faces of kids with no parents. Smiles beaming from the faces of kids who have lived and experienced more horrors than I could imagine. These kids are so precious!
While there we help them learn English, we play with them, laugh with them, joke with them, love on them and sing with them. I LOVE my Wednesday afternoons!
Please pray for these children. There is a boy who came a couple weeks ago who was severely beaten in his old home. You can see it in his eyes and yet he is starting to let us in. He smiles with us and wants us to love on him...we willingly do so! All of them have their own story...please pray for their little hearts to be healed and for them to truly believe there is a God who loves them with a forever love!
