Bringing hopeful joy

To round off a wonderful Sunday, BLC-ians, in greater force, flocked to Rumah Hope, a home for abused and abandoned children, for a Christmas party organized by Rev. Augustine Mutusamy. The buzz in the Good Hope Evangelical Lutheran Church was electric to say the least. The kids there were up and jumping, bubbling with enthusiasm and generated more energy than us adults! :) I'm not gonna blog here saying the usual things people say after a 'feel good' experience. However, I must say after observing some of these children, that they were very very mature kids. There were those among them who had this certain glow about them, a certain look or talk. It was just amazing to see that in them at that age. Made me feel proud of them even! This one was truly for the children. Hope, we did not have to bring. These children have that in them, along with other great attributes. What we as a church were thankful to be given the opportunity to give back to them was - JOY. Amen to that.
