Today is my 9th wedding anniversary. I am not doing well because my wife is not here and I have been missing her for quite a while now.I know that she will be coming here on July 15th for a visit but it is not coming fast enough. I went for a walk just to clear off my mind and noticed that some little critter is following me, actually there were 5 of them. Five kids that were telling me that they haven't eaten for the day.They were asking for money to buy a piece of bread. I told them to follow me and we will go for a walk. We held hands and tried to teach them the song " Jesus Loves Me."
I took them to a restaurant where we ordered Chicken dinners and they helped me celebrate my anniversary. I have never seen little tummies eat so much chicken and rice. The staff at the restaurant was visibly happy for the kids as they enjoyed the meals. They know that these kids often beg for food and the restaurants often have to shoo them off away from the clients, but today, they are the clients and that they are getting the best of service from the restaurant staff. The cashier was crying because the kids were so happy.They were so loud and jubilant that they were the centerpiece of the evening. People around us were smiling and enjoying seeing us make fools of ourselves. This turned out to be a memorable Anniversary after all. These kids called me uncle J for the rest of the evening. GOD is GOOD.
