Sleepless in Tianjin

I could not sleep even though I was still exhausted from being jet-lagged. I am filled with emotions of sadness, excitement, and joy. My mind is filled with all the little faces that I've met yesterday. What a blessing it is to be able to witness God’s work. The children are definitely well-cared for here at Shepherd’s Field Children’s Village. His Love is apparent to us, their smiles tell the whole story. The children are certainly not fearful of strangers. Most of them come right up to you demanding love and affection. They were so excited to see us and we were equally excited to embrace them. As I held the little children in my arms, there were moments when I almost lost my composure. I was reminded of God’s Goodness in Romans 8:28 ---And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him. Please pray for the children and the staff here. Pray that the staff will continue God’s work in caring and loving these children. Pray that the children will be united with their forever family soon.

Mary
