I couldn't help but sing this song as we were driving back to Lira from Anyomolyec with Sharon and Moses (sharon's little brother). Sharon wasn't feeling very well and was riding with her head in my lap. When we picked them up on Monday they were both very quiet and subdued. Not the case anymore! Sharon's little body is still sick and weak, but the two of them have completely lit up! It is so great to see her smile and to hear Moses laugh...it is so contagious :) However, we must continue to pray. Sharon's grandmother had continued to make Sharon do the cooking, fetching water, caring for Moses, etc despite her illness and failing body. We have plans to talk with some friends here in Lira who have an orphanage, but we do not know if there are openings or if the children meet the criteria. Even if they are accepted, they will have to return home with their grandmother for a period of time. We need the process of finding a new home to be speedy so that Sharon and Moses have a future filled with hope, not suffering and heartache.
