‘Life isn’t about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in
the rain.’ Author unknown:
Lisa and I have a song that we dance to. “Wonderful Tonight” by Eric Clapton – doesn’t matter where we are, what time a day it is – when the song comes on, we move the chairs back and dance… our kids hate it, (so they say), waiters and waitresses stop and watch, people on the street applaud some times, (not from our dancing of course, just our love)!
Our days are filled with talking with 9 to 12 year old girls that are raising little brothers and sisters alone, parents dead, most of them with Aid’s and the shame of rape – finding the old, dieing alone in their 100 degree huts, abandoned, cast off – finding new places just miles from our home that have hundreds of kids that haven’t eaten in weeks, never held, never told who they are or that they can even dream- walking the streets of our city realizing that 6 of the 10 people we meet will be dead or to sick to want to live within a few months or years…
As we continue to dig in and serve the people of Africa, we realize we must dance more and teach the people we meet to do the same… dance with your family today…
