A photo series …

Orphan girls at One Vision orphanage in Haiti.

 

Two good buddies in a Haitian village.

 

Orphan boys at One Vision orphanage, praying.

 

And finally, this one. Note the T-shirt on this boy at the orphanage.

    Beautiful posts, Jennifer. All of them. Thank you for sharing so beautifully how He is with them, and how He aches for us to be with them, too, loving and helping. Thank you.

    Jennifer, your posts are so inspiring. I’m sitting here with a smile on my lips, tears in my eyes and an ache in my heart.

    Dear Lord, help me to be part of the answer and not part of the problem. Please take this longing in my heart and make something Kingdom beautiful with it.

    My favorite is the praying boys.

    Beautiful, beautiful portraits of God’s people.

    Gorgeous Jennifer – the photos, the scriptures that expose truth, and your heart. And I have to say that I have been astounded at your ability to post while you are in Haiti. I would say that is a miracle right there.

    Visiting today for the first time. You truly captured who they were. It’s as if you can look into their eyes and see their soul. Beautiful!

    Such beautiful children! Beautiful people, all part of our family and loved by the Father of us all. The scripture verses are the perfect accompaniment, reminding us of a need… theirs and ours. Thank you for this, and for sharing via Still Saturday.

    This week you have given us the gift of a perfect photo essay. Some people get carried away and post more pictures than my heart can take in, but you have done just enough (for me, anyway).

    Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    Oh…there could be nothing more beautiful, more breathtaking, more real than what you’ve shared…nothing that could draw me closer to God in prayer for those sweet, little souls.

    YES!! He is Father to the fatherless, and a Father of the ones who have an un-fathery father. [When I was in Uganda, I had to deal with some of these same issues… touched my heart internally forever and eternity.]Blessings.

    sometimes a picture really IS worth a thousand words.
