I love the children at the orphanage (Siita). After all, our church has had a long standing relationship with Siita. However, the children at the Rivers of Life church bring so much joy to our work here that I wanted to share about them.
As we arrived for our second day and got out of our vans, the children came to hug us and greet us with their bright smiles. They clung to our hands as we walked to the room where we would all gather.
When it was time to sing and dance they were eager to participate and once they learned the songs the room was bursting with children's voices and dancing in a manner that I hadn't ever heard or seen before. When I think of what I witnessed I can't help but to think of the word REJOICING. The room was so full of life, flowing like a river. Then it hit me, this is the Rivers of Life church.
What a blessing it is to be able to witness life to the fullest. I pray that I never forget what true rejoicing is and that I have the courage to live life like these children do, without hesitation and in complete abandonment to love.
