I love it so much it makes my heart hurt, just a little. I adore both of these kids. My own daughter and Sabo (one of the kids we work with and who Adam mentors - to read his story, go here). The contrast between her bright baby-white skin and his chocolate skin, between her blessed life and his difficult one, between her soft glow and his hard shell, could not be more beautiful and bittersweet.
Sabo loves Jayci because we love Sabo. And we love Sabo because Christ loved us. Simple, beautiful truth.
Last week there was over 400 entries at I Heart Faces. That's a whole lot of pictures people, and a whole lotta talent too. Visit and see this week's entries!
Aww... that is such a sweet picture!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture and what a wonderful thing you are doing to help this young boy. You talk about your daughter's blessed life, but I think that Sabo can now count his life blessed because of you.
