so touching
 
Most of you know I work with street children...children from the ghettos....


Sunday night 3 little boys hugged me and were talking to me...They said, Grandma...our dream is to have a remote little car to play with...I looked at them....barefooted...one with no shirt...who knows when they had taken a shower...yet their little eyes were shinning as they told me their dreams...

A little remote car...I remember buying one on sale at the dollar store for one of my grandkids for ten dollars or so on sale....of course they are quite expensive here...

I thought of all the toys kids have in the states and here were 3 little boys telling me their dream....

Oh, my friends...your country is so blessed...never forget to be thankful...as we were talking one said, grandma, did you make soup because someone said you fell and hurt yourself...I said yes we will have soup...they looked at me and said, we are so hungry...

Never fail to be thankful...

Thank you sweet friend. My greatest joy in life is reaching out to others. Do keep us in your prayers.

Sounds great.

How are you doing Sister Alvear? Are you making sure you get some good rest?

We are constantly praying for you and hope you are making sure you take some time to rest and heal. :)
