It's been a crazy week here at UofT. In a good way. Every single morning I am so excited to get out of bed and face what God has put before me. I have no idea what people I'm going to meet or what blessing He will pour onto me. It's a beautiful adventure.
Volunteering on Monday was...trying. I'm really sensitive and emotional, especially when it comes to kids. And these children have...nothing. I want so badly to hold them and help them, to give them the beautiful things in life that they probably have no idea about. Walking through a shopping mall or even going to church, I see parents letting their kids play with iPods, Nintendo DS's, and cellphones. The kids I work with...well, they have cards. And jenga. And each other.
I learned this valuable lesson when Kaye presented me with a picture she had drawn me. "Here, this is for you." The picture is now on my wall, a reminder that you don't have to be rich to love, you don't need money to give people gifts. Markers and a piece of paper will suffice.

So good to hear that you are allowing God to work in your heart.
Don't let that fire go out... EVER! It is up to you. Stir it up! Keep it going girl!

It is good to be reminded of the simplicity of love.
Thanks so much for the post and sharing about God's work in your life!
You are right Claudia; 'simple' things of life can bring a smile to our faces :) ...The children you are working with are blessed to have you in their lives.
Thank you for sharing your grateful heart with us.
Love & peace,

Love can give more than money could ever give!
