[Adventures 2012]: Orphan Eyes
He doesn’t have a Mommy.
He doesn’t have a Daddy.
…At least he doesn’t have a Mommy and a Daddy in his life right now.
This is my little friend from the orphanage we visited in Ecuador.
Who wouldn’t want him!? Chubby little cheeks, gorgeous dark-chocolate-eyes… he is darling.He needs love.
He would come up to me, point at my camera, I would ask to take a photo and he would try to run away, but soon be back again.
He loved to play… games of his own making. One look into his eyes and I began to wonder…I wondered what he will be like when he grows up…
I wondered if someone will adopt him, give him a home, a family, love… Jesus.
I wondered if he will be given a chance to change the world. To live his dreams.
I wondered how many people in America could be making a difference in orphaned kiddos lives and aren’t.
I wondered when I will be holding orphaned-kiddos in my arms again.It does something to you, people.
Seriously.I wonder.

lifting the heart to God about it whenever it intrudes upon one’s thoughts.” [Elisabeth Elliot]
