Joy doesn not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day. — Henri Nouwen




A TRIBUTE TO MOTHERS ALL OVER THE WORLD!
 When this little girl was given her toy, she quickly did what little girls do all over the  world---
 SHE COPIED WHAT HER MOTHER ALWAYS DID WITH A BABY
She quickly got a little blanket from her mom and put it over her back, positioned her baby on her back, and fastened it to her body.   
You see mothers doing this all over Guatemala in the city and in the country.

I loved seeing those kids with those toys! So happy! And seeing the before and after picture for those new smiles was great. You guys are working so hard...you are making me sweat.
See you soon!!

Can't help but think how proud Mom and Dad are of you. What a great example you are to your kids, well to everyone for that matter! How much longer do you have?
