From our ministry for little children and babies of the street in Manila/Philippines:
A typical way of saying grace in our children's home 'Noah's Arc' might sound like this:
“Thank you Jesus for this good food! We really hope that this day will pass without any great fuss (such as ..., ...), and please, no more asthma and no more sickness.“ Afterwards one can hear a loud, combined AMEN!
We are actually praying for one special girl quite often who has deformities in her brain. She is a big challenge for anybody who has to deal with her.
Even though she has developed amazingly, her antics can drive the staff nuts. She continually refuses to cooperate during her speech-and ergotherapy, even though she's got all the attention right then she is craving for.
Other times, all she wants to do is to bite the other kids, take away their toys or destroy their little toy-buildings. You can never know wether you will be hugged or beaten in the next moment.
She is not the only child in our home with a very tragic background. At the same time we are really glad about all the positive, encouraging developments we can see in our little ones.
So many have been placed in good, caring families by the social department after going through a time of restoration and healing in our home.”
