Little Kisses
Five little girls, one little boy sat with me in dirt street of a little community in Chilca Peru. Crayons in hand… Coloring pages ready to color we sat in a small circle. My desire was to connect with these children, but they were shy and reserved. Drawing a face on my hand… coloring with the children… I was blessed with little smiles and giggles… but no more. Suddenly our moment was passing, as the call came for our team to make our way to the bus. Walking to the bus… I said, “Lord, I wish I could have captured the hearts of these kids… I wish I could have had the entire week to spend with them… and then it happened… a little hand tugging at mine… I turned and leaned over. What happened then was why I came to Peru…. There they stood… some of the girls I had colored with… and their gift to me, just before they ran to their homes… THREE LITTLE KISSES. The miracle of God's Love.... changing the world, one little heart beat at a time.

All I can say is WOW how cool is that!!!! Jamie said "that I should say that was amazing and that this writing touched me." Jesus said in his word that they would know us by our Love. Be careful and see you guys when you get home. Brent

That is the most precious image I have ever heard...while reading I was thinking how when we go through things and we feel like we are all alone and then it happens...We feel God's presence...just like little kisses on our face!!! God is so Good..All the time!!! I am so thankful for all the pictures and the stories you have shared...they have touched my heart...it is almost like I have been there..Praying for a safe return trip home!!
