Changing Lives
I spend a lot of time investing in students in my classroom. In the past six years I have been an influence on 132 kids. That’s in the last six years in Saudi Arabia and in Hong Kong. There are hundreds of others as well. However, in the last two years there have been a few who have really impacted me. Let me share them with you.
I travel to the mainland north of Hong Kong almost every Saturday to visit a home for orphan kids. Most of these are special needs kids. In the last six months I have not been able to visit them due to politics where the flow of foreigners into the country has been controlled.
Yesterday we were allowed back to visit. It was extraordinary and exhilarating! What a neat opportunity to be loved. When I first started visiting I thought it was for me to love some of the kids. I soon found out, it was I who was loved. I was receiving their blessing more than they received mine. Yes, I am the one who is adopted by these little ones. I have become the lucky one who has been adopted.
It’s the best three hours of the week for me, even though the travel time is another 2.5 hours each way. I am the one who is blessed.
See you Saturday kids!
