with Drop-in Center Children
November Bonding Time
And all these kids are going to grow up someday. And they
will be going to do the things that we do and even starting some now, or will
even be doing things which we are only dreaming of. And every time they teach
each other what’s good for them, share blessings to one another and show
concern just like how brothers and sisters do, they are making me feel so much.

For me, the people comprising our homes are really blessed people on earth. It
is a blessing from God to be a witness of the first moments they had learned
how to write their names, or the first time they had known their true names, or
the first time that had eaten a complete meal, or the first time they slept in
bed. It is a blessing to be part of their stories each day and to see them
grow. It is a blessing to help them feel what it is meant to have a family and
a home--- and it is not something we can do just for a day. And in the same way
there is always hope and a promise for their future, the family and its homes
all have a future too, a future brighter enough to shine amidst time of
temporary darkness. Kids grow but the hearts of the family and the homes will
never become old and weary.
