The "In"
Today I spent my morning at the hospital with one of the little boys from the baby home. When I got to there this morning one of the nannies asked me if I would like to go along with her. Of course I said yes! It was such quality time together, even under the circumstances. (The little boy is fine--he had an infection that some antibiotics should clear up). When we returned it was well after lunch, but the ladies back at the orphanage had prepared a meal for us and waited for us to get back to eat. Again, such wonderful time of fellowship with the women that care for the children I so dearly love! And to wrap it all up: a coffee ceremony... Because no habasha (Ethiopian) meal is complete without a 3 pour coffee ceremony! I am thankful today that I am "in" with the ladies. They thanked me over and over for going to the hospital, but I really felt like I should thank them for including me and allowing me to be a part of yet another layer of these children's lives! These ladies are such a special part of the baby home--as you think of it today say a special prayer for them and the work that they do!
