Abdalla
So I am currently in Kenya
When I first arrived at the orhanage I met a little boy named Abdalla.
He pulled my arm right up to his face to look at my tattoos.
He looked at them very very closely.
Abdalla and I both wear glasses. A little thing to bond over I suppose..
the other day one of the other volunteers saw him walking around with a corn husk "beard".
Are you Sean? the volunteer asked? He nodded his head yes with a grin...
Abdalla wants to learn to read... he looks at alphabet books.. very very very closely...
He wants to learn to read before his sight goes completely..
His glasses help a little, but not for long.. His vission is getting worse and worse, and doctors say he'll be completely blind in a few months.
There is an expensive surgery he could have.. but even that only has a 50 percent success rate.. of repairing sight or causing complete loss of sight.
My prayer lately is to have my heart be more like Gods... A heart that loves as he loves, sees others as he sees them, a heart that breaks for the things that break his... my heart breaks continually for this boy...
