(Note from Bob: This is powerful as a number of us sat around this morning in tears watching this at it hits at the heart of our theme this week of "Love One Another") Thanks to Brock for sharing it!!
Well A week ago I was browsing youtube and I came across this video. It broke my heart to see this and I knew it would be something like the pictures in Mexico. Yesterday as I was playing with the kids I noticed a little boy sitting in the dirt with his head down and all alone. I walked over to him and started talking to him. I asked him If he was alright and he said no. I asked whats wrong and he said this, "No attach. You leaving." I felt so sad because of that. So I picked him up and gave him the biggest hug I could give but as I held him in my arms and I looked around it reminded me of this video. I just have to share it with you... It reminded me that God never leaves his Children and I told the little boy that and he said, "yes. He has purpose for me." and smiled. These kids know God is with thim and he has a purpose for them. It was so amazing to be there.

Brock,
Thanks for sharing this amazing moment with us.
What an awesome lesson for these kids to learn that even though they can't see you once you leave, that you still love them and pray for them. Just like God. We can't see Him, but know that He is right here, right now. (stole that from Charlie M.)
Keep serving!
Well said.
