From Petra Erkens, HELP Manila. Once again I am absolutly amazed at how simple things can really make a difference. H is now with us for a while and his thankfulness knows no end and neither his expression for it. He now considers himself "rich" because he has enough to eat and a proper bed to sleep in. He loves to study and never fails to smile.
His attitude of blessing others seems to be deeply rooted in him. Last week we had a wedding from two of our young people. H was the most excited about this event. He wanted to bless the bride and spent his pocket money on a little item he thought she would like.
When he gave it to her, she freaked out for joy and surprize. Just on that day she thought of buying the same thing and didn't do it, because she didn't want to "waste" money so short before the great event. Obviously God didn't think it was a waste and made H bless her with it.
It amazes me how this little boy blesses people. I remember the toy he gave me when he was still in the streets. Yesterday I took the chance to give him something. He was talking about how he loved my daughters sport watch. I found a cheaper model and got it fo him. His eyes didn't stop to sparkle and he wears it now like a treasure.
