“Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.”
Each child. Each orphan. Each human being. In Haiti. In Williamsburg. Each one - everyone.
How I treat one is how I treat Jesus. What a sobering thought.
Jesus initiated this concept when He said:
“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” [Matthew 25:40].
I just wanted to take a this last post to introduce you to the last four children at Wings of Refuge.
Wilson is one of the quieter ones but his facial expressions speak loud and clear. It was easy to see his disapproval of something or someone by some of his priceless expressions.
Adelin can always be found in the middle of all the commotion and fun. He loves to play seems to never run out of energy.
Adeline can often be found jumping rope or combing the Wings of Refuge doll’s hair for the thousandth time. She, like her brother Adelin, seems to always be full of energy and ready for anything that comes her way.
Renelson (like all of them) loves to be held. The hard thing is he is not three or even five so he is much heavier than the little guys. He is on the quieter side and simply loves to have you near him. So many times I would find him right by my side helping hold the tape as I put up a new alphabet or a number chart. He was always quick to help.
I hardly thought it was possible to miss a place and a people as much as I have the past few days. I miss the kids’ smiles and their hugs, I miss their unique mannerisms and personalities. But, one thing is for sure - I will be back very soon and hopefully with a team from CLC!
Thank you, Holly. Thank you for introducing us to each of these precious children. I can't wait to talk more with you in person sometime about all you were able to experience. God is so good!
