I told a girl I liked her bracelet and in a second, it was on my wrist.
I told a girl I liked her bow, and in a moment it was mine.
Despite coming from poor families and less-than-grandoise lives, these kids gave me something more valuable than any gift of great monetary value. They showed me the selfless heart of Christ.
They reminded me what it is to cherish people more than things or status or comfort. And that-- a love of people above all else-- is what God is all about.
I came to share God's love yet was taught, in a way only a child could, what that love looks like. Praise God for His ironic sense of humor!
