Saying goodbye never gets any easier.
We just returned from our last few hours at the orphanage. Tear marks streak our face and red eyes hide under sunglasses. What an amazing week it has been.
Before we left, all the children gathered on the porch of one of the homes and said a prayer over us. With their hands hovering over our heads, they whispered words none of us could understand. Still, we could feel the presence of the Lord.
We weren't the only ones crying. Louna, my dear, sweet Louna, weeped as I whispered "Lisa renmen Louna" in her ear...I love you. Esterline, clinging to my neck, wiped the tears from my eyes with her tiny thumb. These are precious moments I will always remember.
My God is good. He has once again placed me in the midst of children who understand how much I love them, and even better, how much HE loves them. They truly understand the gospel and I have no doubt we will spend eternity in heaven together.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Lisa
