Sacrificate

Living in Honduras for the past 8 years has been an amazing adventure. People often ask me what's a normal day like for me. Well, there is nothing normal about any day of my family's life in Honduras. It's an adventure. I hope to be able to share some of our daily adventures and experiences through this blog. Enjoy!

Sacrificate

Sacrificate
The Beltran kids have been at our house for a few weeks now. I guess and update is in order. Since their arrival they have really enjoyed getting three good meals a day, wearing clean clothes, going to school, having toys, having a flushable toilet, and knowing that they are loved. There mother has also died. After the funeral the father tried to give all the kids away to the aunts but they were not interested. Then the older, 18 year old, sister asked if they wanted to go back to JB's house, they said yes, and they returned. Their father visits, usually on Saturday or Sunday. He stays for only an hour or so. The kids don't even run to hug him. Our little girl Sol prays nightly for the little kids without a mommy. She is really enjoying having them around to play with. Ally and I are growing attached to the kids but we don't talk about them much. I don't know why, perhaps we are scared of what our hearts are feeling. We have little time as a family and now with six more to love on our time is stretched thinner. I feel bad some times that we don't dedicate more time direclty to the kids. The olderst sister, Diana, has school in San Marcos on the weekends, Saturday 12 noon to 6 PM and Sunday 6AM to 12 noon, that pretty much makes weekend get aways or plan no possible. So, is it worth it?? Let the picture that i am posting answer that for you....
