The street children in the Philippines seem to truly be "forgotten". There, if a mother leaves her child alone on the street, adults will not go to the child and ask questions, even if he is there for days or months. No one even seems to notice. If there is someone sleeping on the street, people will just step over them or around them. They are nearly invisible.
These boys and girls typically don't have shoes on their feet or food in their bellies. They call out to Americans, "Hey Joe". Hoping, needing a few pesos, a drink, a meal.
Today, my heart aches for these children. For my friends Michael, John John and Jeffrey who are probably still on the streets. Please pray with me for the children of Cebu who so desperately need our Saviour, a home and love.
Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Eph 3:20-21
Thankful, Sheryl
