faces

At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
- Matthew 18:1-4

I have been looking at pictures from Ecuador today. I found myself being moved to tears when I saw these kids and still recognized their faces. We invested so much of our time and our hearts with the kids that we met. I pray that I never forget about their eagerness to hear what we had to say. May that serve as an example of eagerness that we should have in listening to our Heavenly Father. I thank God for the opportunity to spend time with these precious children. I pray that the Gospel message that we took to them is embedded deep within their hearts and minds. I realize that I may never see them again on this Earth, but I pray wholeheartedly that I will one day see their sweet faces in Heaven. Lord, let them see you.
