Riverside
We're back to Rast, in the flooded south of Romania. This time be brought some help. Our friends from Dallas came this year too, to support us in that area. I'm sure it was something new for them. The pure reality of life, the life of hundreds of children who's only fault is that they were born there. The politicians decided to flood those villages two years ago to protect their own interests, but these children don't do politics. They don't even have high expectations. They just want to play and have a safe home and childhood. So, our visit was a ray of hope in their world. Not because we're so good doing mission trips. Not because we brought some Americans there.
It's because we were open to show God's love and to treat them with love and respect as He treats us. And again, we had the same feeling of being blessed, served by those kids. This is true, it's not just a nice saying, you just cannot feel that until you're experiencing it. All the songs, crafts, snacks, games, dramas and a lot of soccer, of course, were absorbed by those "sponges". The sad thing after going back home is that all of these will stop and they will go back in their routine. We always tend to feel pity for them, and that because we're from a different world. But I know they can find happiness in their world too. The hope Jesus gives transcends any culture and any living conditions. Our meaning there is temporary. We're His missionaries, we just plant the seeds. Please pray for these seeds to grow, so the next time we'll step in their world to feel like home...
