It’s been a while since I last updated this. I have spent the last few months having baby and adjusting to being a mum.
But Watoto is always in my thoughts. Even more so now that I have my own child. I want the best for him and somewhere in Uganda there are 8 orphans needing my best too.
I look at my son and think how vulnerable he is and how much he needs his parents to just meet his basic needs of comfort, food, and safety. I am blessed enough to not only be able to meet his basic needs but exceed them.
I realise why the LORD’s heart goes out to orphans and widows and why throughout the bible he asks his people to provide for them. It’s because they need protection and are forced to stand alone in this world. And his people are his hands in this world to reach out and meet their needs.
