Morning Devo at Casa de Esperanza


Katty being slightly distracted by Skillet


A couple of weeks ago, Karen and Dorian started having a morning devotional with the kids. There is singing and praying and the kids are trying to learn one Bible verse each week. It is so cute to watch them start coming out of their rooms, still in pajamas and barefeet, bedheads and sleepy eyes. It is not difficult to tell who is a morning person and who isn't. Brayan probably is a morning person. Cindy probably isn't. Someone starts with a prayer and then we go right into singing. Singing is pretty low key at first, but livens up quickly. From the very beginning, Brayan is singing with all of his heart and soul, if slightly off key. He doesn't care. We don't care and God certainly doesn't care. When they pray, they usually remember to thank God for everything and everyone, calling each child and each worker by name. What a great way to start each day, listening to the happy voices of children sing praises to God and thank him for their blessings, this from children, who just months ago, had nothing for which to be thankful.

Brayan singing wholeheartedly.
