Since my return, friends and family have asked me what it was like in Bulembu, Swaziland. Now, that's a good question! I can't summarize in a short conversation, but I can say it was all about the smiles. These precious little ones were happy. They were cold, tattered and some were hungry and dirty, but they were happy. They loved holding hands and hugging and seeing their smiling faces on the digital camera. They loved to sing, swing and get special attention. How can these children be so full of smiles? I'm not sure, but I am sure that Christ is living in them and with them in Bulembu. He has been invited in by the town and they are living proof that He is faithful and that He loves them and their caregivers. My lesson is that I don't need much to smile in this "land of plenty" but I do need Christ. I will forever be changed by my experience in Swaziland.
