We Love Them No Less

July 11

     Today was a little heavy with everything that’s going on. I guess a more appropriate word would be overwhelming. Gracie has still been trying to help the mother whose 13-year old daughter ran off with a drug abuser. Karla got grounded and Heydi got reprimanded for how both of them have been treating Melissa. Milagro cut herself yesterday and Dulce (the nanny) has been having a hard time dealing with the girls’ verbal abuse. Jen also got upset today in her class because the girls were being very disrespectful and it made her feel pretty bad. After our mentor time, Gracie said that we should all just spend the rest of the day in prayer and quiet time with the Lord.

     Some of the tension eased out after a while. Its days like these though when you are especially thankful for children and the joy that they bring. Their smiles and laughter changed the atmosphere. They are such a blessing and these children are extra special. They may have come from unfortunate circumstances, but that doesn’t mean God loves them any less…and neither do we.
