Finally...at two and a half, these two will watch 5 or 10 minutes of TV!!! I can get something done if I hurry. Today we played outside, filling the dump truck with rocks and rolling the ball. So easy and they love it. All I know is...there is no way I would let someone lock me in a room with 20 two year old...how is that even possible?
Our dishwasher has not been working for over a week. I think I have washed every dish in this house more than twice! Saturday I fed the 10 of us and 3 boys, all around 17 yrs old, even with paper plates and cups the dishes were stacked high.
Today I am torn and feel like I am not doing enough! My blog friend in Haiti talked about a newborn baby girl that they could just take home if they wanted. A true orphan, she could live with them right now, but they might not ever be able to bring her back to the United States. She is struggling with this decision because evidently they were only planning to be in Haiti for 9 months or so.
In addition, these 3 boys who spent Saturday afternoon with us, well at least 2 have no parents to speak of. One in particular lives with his "guardian" and could not go home until after 11:30 p.m. Saturday night! Literally locked out of the house. What do you do with that? Part of me wants them to spend time over here everyday. Part of me says, "Double the cooking, I don't know."
And last of all, God answered my prayer of finding an older person who lives at home and might need help and I haven't even gone to see her yet.
There is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much to do! And that doesn't even include the homeless lady we buy our newspaper from at an intersection by our church. Her name is Bobbie Joe and she had a baby less than a month ago. As we spoke to her about her baby, later I felt like she may not have kept the baby and might have made a big mistake and hurt her instead of helped. How do we reach out to so many, how do we know what is needed?
Pray for clarity and for our spiritual eyes to be opened.
