For those living in broken-down dwellings, tents, or even merely under trees and natural overhangs – and for the adults, needing to walk far to find any work – what a blessing to receive the gift of boots and shoes! The children lined up eagerly, each getting to try on and find a pair that fit nicely. Then the adults, also thrilled at the chance to replace their worn out pairs with quality footwear. In some cases for both children and adults, the new items were their only foot covering. Expectant smiles and satisfied after-inspections joined to make us both happy, and determined once again to reach out as much as we are able. So many live in terrible conditions, and they need help. They need us. And most of all, they need to feel Jesus in action; Love that never lets go.
