Blessed

We visited Lude again, she acted afraid again, until she saw the photos we brought from the day before. We are so happy to see that she has been well taken care of, she's pretty big for her age by Haitian standards. Looking at her compared with a few other girls at the orphanage that are her age, or older, she looked healthy. I was really surprised at the difference. The picture is of MacDonna, a girl that lives at the orphanage, they are not there because they are orphans, but because their family couldn't take care of them. The orphanage is funded by Northwest Haiti Christian Ministries. It made me really appreciate the advantage we've been able to give our girls by being Americans. We don't get to chose who we are, God has chosen who our parents are, from what country, color, culture and with advantage or not and a lot of times we just expect more and don't stop to look around and see how blessed we are.
