Visitation

Posted by Sam

This morning was visitation for all the kids here at Casa. We take them to Casitas Kennedy, the state run orphanage, and their parents are allowed to come in and see their kids for two hours. This is always rough on the kids, especially on the kids' moms who don't show up. Today Cindy and Maryuri's mom, and Brayan's mom came.  Fernando, Katty, Monica, and Doris' mom didn't show up, and it broke Fernando's heart. He had been talking about visitation for a while now, and he couldn't wait to see his momma, and she didn't show up. He asked over and over where his mommy was..and we honestly had no answers for him. All we could say is that we were sorry and that we loved him. But the hurt and disappointment in his eyes was enough to make you heart melt and your eyes fill up with tears.


Days like today my heart screams for justice. I would do anything in this world to take the pain away from these kids here at Casa. There are so many things in this country that just don't make sense. So many things that I cannot even begin to fathom. Things that should never happen, and wouldn't happen if the rest of the world would stop sitting around watching as the world around them dies. 

We bow our Hearts
We bend our knees
Oh Spirit come make us humble
We turn our eyes from evil things
Oh Lord we cast down our idols
So give us clean hands
Give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Give us clean hands
Give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
And God let us be
A generation that seeks
That seeks your face
