It starts with a pair of eyes that drill into your soul and ask, "Do you love me?"
And so, you say "Yes." And click that button and start writing this child. And she writes back!
And you begin to fall in love with this kid you've never met.
Whose eyes and little shoulders tell of the weight of the world
You pray for her, and continue to write to her, and really start to appreciate her for the person she is.
And you watch her grow.
And just about the time you think you can't possibly love her any more than you do now...
...She smiles!
And you plummet even deeper in love with this little child God created. You marvel at how this child can affect your life from across the ocean, and treasure how fortunate it is that it is you who gets to be a part of her life!

(Note: I wrote this a few months ago, but I liked this post, and this kid so much, and since it's Sunday, I thought I'd repost it here. I sponsor Abigail through Compassion International. She is 9, and lives in Ghana. The pictures span in chronlogical order from 7-9.)
