I spent the afternoon walking through the dusty roads, past the sugar cane fields, taking off my sandals and wading across the creek with these beautiful barefoot children. I chased them as they laughed and squealed. We visited homes and chatted with families. I talked with kids and hugged them as they waited to have their pictures taken.

   Our visit to La Isla wasn't a social visit. We were there for a specific purpose. We came to photograph children, to expand our sponsorship website. And yet what the kids walked away with was love. In every service, in every meeting, in every part of ministry we long to speak forth love.

   The next morning, Rosa, our cook, who is from the same village told me that all evening all the kids were excitedly chatting about our visit that afternoon. All she heard was that I had come. I had stayed the whole afternoon. And the kids were saying, "She loves us. She really loves us."  Speak love today. You never know the difference that a small act of love will make in the lives of the hurting and broken.
