Day 2

They just need someone to love on them.  We get used to hearing I love you, we find it almost offensive when our parents or close friends don't say it, but these kids are shocked when we do say it.  They will pick their own scabs just to get enough attention for a band-aid.  We walk miles to pick up kids to bring to our site, so many kids want to come, because they feel safe and loved.  I wish we could walk more but we don't have the time.  There is no hapiness or light in these children and their expressions are blank until you say, "I love you," and then you see a smile on their face that you haven't seen before on them.  How much more should we be thankful for the people in our daily lives that do love us.  Please pray that we have the energy and time to walk an extra mile to reach more kids, and show them that there is someone who loves them more than anyone else and it is God.
