BLESSED!

That's exactly how we all feel tonight. We met our Compassion children today and were just blown away. From the first time we laid eyes on the kids at Gus until we said Goodbye to them at the park this afternoon, WHAT A BLESSING! I remember Bob (Ward) walking past me to get off the bus when we first met the kids, saying, "She's so shy." Hours later we have pictures of his daughter, curled up in his lap as the afternoon was just too overwhelming for her. Joan (Tomec) blessed our socks off as she met her twin boys for the first time! I'll never forget Jose hugging her and snuggling up next to her on the cable car ride up the mountain. He was a little afraid, but was comforted by her love. Then there was Susan and Larry Ray with their "young man" Carlos. I never laughed so hard as I did at the sight of Larry running down the hill after the ball he "errantly" bounced over Carlos' head rolled down the hill.

What a day, what a trip! I'm truly BLESSED to be a part of this one!
