One of the sweetest ways I've ever
concluded my day: 28 orphans all cuddled together in the darkness,
clean and scrubbed, braided and snuggly, singing earnestly song after
song of praise. We were all together on a third floor balcony of the
orphanage, overlooking the hills of Port au Prince, a smattering of
lights since electricity is scarce. The breeze before a downpour
swirls around us, and the children hold our hands, singing and
singing their heartfelt lullabie until it is time to surrender to
sleep.
Julie, thank you for sharing this beautiful picture.
