This is the orphanage that we visited on Monday afternoon. Thirty handicapped orphans live at this Christian-run house. We made bracelets, painted their nails, took them on a walk, and just spent some time with the kids. It was a special time.
We packed up from our ghetto-beach house on Tuesday morning, traveled to the waterfront and had breakfast on the rocks. After the boys displayed their manlihood by jumping from little rock to little rock in the ocean - having to get wet and dirty - we ate our cereal and peanut butter and jelly sandwich breakfast. Worship time after that was so precious... singing songs about God's love being as wide as the ocean comes alive in a new way when you are right there listening to the crashing waves!
We also saw the blow hole down the street - where the water rushes into a hole in the rocks and blows out. A small bit of shopping finished up our adventures before getting back on the road north.
"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their distress and to keep himself unspotted from the world"
