I think we have all felt this way at one time or another. I have struggled with the same thing with a little girl in our Sunday School class. Your story really hit home and has encouraged me to choose to love her. It is amazing what you are doing with these children and it is nice to see a glimpse of that. Love you guys!!!

And I agree with Tom 'you are being more honest that I am with my own feelings'. thanks for sharing such a wise insight. It is our choice. all my love to thefourbridges...oops now its five!

Thank you so much for your openness & for sharing that story with us all. What a wonderful reminder & thank you for the encouragement about chosing to love people even when we don't feel like it - we will most likely never know how much those choices truly impact others (but it is awesome to get to see how it has touched others at times too!).

Dotson Thu, 18 Feb 2010 03:12:14 +0000 http://theforsakenchildren.org/?p=578#comment-70 Joe, This is just the beginning. Amonyesh will need your help more ever than now. The idea of helping someone and the reality of being able to do so in such a destitute country will require a great sacrifice on her part and yours. She is just a child but many a great healer had decided at an early age to help others. Moreover, nurturing her spiritually will provide her with strength when she thinks she has none, grace where none may currently exist, and love for everyone. I hope I am making sense. Isn't it odd how the Lord utilizes the trust of a small child to show us as adults that we love someone when we may not realize it? Stay strong... I'm praying for you and your family. George Joe,

Here's a quote from a book that I have read over and over: "The life of faith consists entirely in this incessant battle with the senses." I remember Amonyesh. I thought she was very pretty. I am glad she is being touched by the ministry. Tom Joe – I think you are just being more honest that most of us are willing to be.
