Oct. 25

Today Sanele, Nombali and I went to the Mahlabeneni carepoint. While they were working with the older children I sat and played with the younger ones. It was a cool, rainy day. One little boy came into the building sobbing and soaked; his face was muddy from where he had fallen in the dirt, so I scooped him up and cuddled him against me under my jacket. His shivering stopped and he fell fast asleep.

It was the perfect opportunity to pray for this little boy and his family; his mom or gogo out working and providing a shelter for him and his siblings, his sister who was not much older than he and for his future, no matter how short or long it might be. It was so amazing being able to poor into this little boy’s life and love on him. I thank God so much that I have two parents, I have warm clothes, food three times a day and always have a weather-proof house to sleep in unlike this handsome little boy who probably has never even slept in a bed before.
