I've seen it many times. The little dark face with big, round eyes. They just stare at me. I'm not sure if they stare in wonder or out of desperation, but it doesn't matter why. Those eyes beckon me and cry out. I see them over and over. God shows them to me in my dreams. And that is where they ask me "when?".
What do I say? Do I say, "Not now. I don't have time."? Do I say, "I can't. We don't have the money."? Or is it, "Wait a bit longer. Someone else will come.".
I pray God will give me the right answers. Until then, my tears fall....along with the tears from those beautiful eyes on the little dark face. And oh how I long to tell him- I LOVE YOU.
In Him,
E

Those faces and big eyes are just calling to be loved, aren't they? My oldest tells us over and over that he wants a little brother and sister from Africa. I love his heart!
