Arriving at the guest house and having Wadley in my arms made everything else disappear...
To actually be able to hold him and kiss his cheeks, to see him looking so healthy and to feel his little heart beating in my arms was a joy I can't begin to explain.. the pain oand loss of Jesley was so very real too and then there was Peter... I mean.. LOOK at those cheeks and that little bundle of cuteness! He truly is an adorable and happy baby and a joy.
Yes arriving at the guest house was a bundle of emotions but over all I had a deep sense of peace and "rightnesses". It felt like coming home. Seeing the familiar faces from our trip before.. gettig a hug from Naomi the head of the cresche and hearing the loss in her voice as she mentioned Jesley, the folks at Bethel love the children so very much that the shock of losing Jesley hit hard. KNowing he is in place of no pain, in the arms of Jesus allows us to look forward with hope to the time we can all be together again.. and for now focus on the children here with us....
and focus we did! Not just on our children but on the children of the cresche. Playing, holding, loving, singing to and with, enjoying and feeding.. we brought clothes, food, meds and toys but we took home a heart full of memories and love for these beautiful people!
Happy, happy-- love the chubby cheeks too and your girls holding them. So glad you were able to visit-- did you go to court while you were down there?
