seeing things on the surface...
everything can parecer muy bien... looking at a picture, for example, or even the video I made for the clausura of Santiago...
but that is hardly a representation of reality. My kids can look great in a picture, afterall, they are beautiful children of God...
but can you smell them? Can you tell that they haven´t been bathed in days, maybe even weeks?
can you see the scars hidden under their clothes, whther on their bodies, their precious bodies, which were originally made to be Temples for the Holey Spirit? How is it that their parents didn´t get the memo??
or can you see the scars on their hearts?
can you know the reason why and how their moods can change so quickly and their eues go cold?
can you know the details of the stories they so desperately need to share...but for carious reasons can and will not?
can you know their potential inside? that they, too, have dreams and aspirations, even if they don´t know how to spell them....
just some thoughts after seeing and being with so many of the kids here...
but on a more uplifting note... Jesus has risen, and we have been so blessed to be able to celebrate with each other and with the people here. We miss you all, but know that we are in your prayers, just as you are in ours! Thank you so much, as always, for your ever continuing support. Happy Easter week!
Love and peace,
Mara :)
