all about missions...

Now that going on missions is in its third year for me... And that in this third year I am not going cos I wanna obey my parents for once... I am beginning to miss the little kids there very much... I have yet to load last year's missions' photos online... But in my first year there were very adorable kids who called me "gemut kaka..." This one dear little girl, who should be I think 9 years old now... Her name is Nafita... She was the dearest to me during my short three days in her town... She is so adorable that until today I still often remember her... *sigh* How I wish I could just fly there and be with these adorable kids right now... Haha... Well here are some photo of the little dearies...


 this is Nafita...


 Nafita and Diyan...


  this is Diyan...


 
one of those little kids whom I couldn't understand... she is from a village in Palembang...


I miss them all... Then there is Rama... Ayu... Sri... I should simply load up their photos... They are simply adorable... The innocence in children... It's no wonder that it is stated in Mark 10:13 - 16 that Jesus loves the little children... I feel that loving children is a mark of obedience... After all Jesus loves little children, and to be more Christ like I think loving children is one trait to follow after...
Beside, "... the kingdom of God belongs to such as these..." - Mark 10:14b


Maybe this year, I can learn to love city children... Village kids are easier to love because they require so little to be pleased... Children growing up in the city are slightly more difficult to please cos they already have everything... I should probably start by first loving my spiritual children and those spiritually young... After all, I do know my daughters' needs better than I know others'...
