On our first full day at Casa Agar (Tuesday) we ate lunch with the moms and children. Before the meal, one of the moms said the blessing. As she was saying it, one of the children (2 years old) started crying. We couldn't figure out why she was crying...the bit was discovered that she was crying because she didn't get to say the blessing. She was crying because she missed time with Jesus. Wow. Why aren't we that sad when we miss time with Jesus?
In Matthew 18:17 Jesus says "I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.” Faith like a child.
Oh wow - you are in Bucharest, Romania! That is so close to Moldova - where I am from! We have friends at Casa Agar, who have visited the Freedom Home, where I work - such a small world!
