Touray

On January 6 we had the opportunity to deliver gifts to children. These gifts were sent by angels, I’d like to think, or distant family right across the borders.

RICH

These children are rich! They were covered with happiness, rolling in hospitality, and have savings full of community.I saw hundreds of children smiling, playing, running around, and getting exercise, and mingling with each other. They are learning how to be independent, raise animals (chickens mostly), and transform the fiercest dogs into harmless pets. They know how to save on energy (washing and hanging clothes on the line). They speak different languages. They have no fear of strangers, or high ledges, or outhouses, or bugs, or the earth beneath them, or the sky above, or water, or neighbors. They are all together free from terror. It would seem. They just lack shoes, possibly food (though not visibly), and clean water. That’s it. This is something so simple. My prayer is that these needs start and continue to fall down upon them. So they can live lavishly in life and in the spirit of being free. Maybe if God sees fit I could live in this life if the Lord wills it.…Thank you Tanya and Elizabeth for being so kind to me, you will always be in my thoughts.
