Today, as ussual, Me and my wife walked around Joyoboyo Bus station for visitation time. We wanted to visit and meet children and their parents. By that kind of visitation, we found the reality of Street children's life. It is not easy to live in such a harsh enviroment. We can find so many heartbroken – pain and bitter life. We saw a mother chasing her son with a broom. The boy was so scared, crying and running, tried to hide behind me. His mom dragged his hand and started to hit the boy. I tried to stop her, while the boy managed to escape and run away to the busy and crowded street in front of the bus station. A car almost hit the boy and a motorcycle hit the boy's hand. I just could hold my breath, cannot imagine what would happen if God didn't protect this little boy.
I've known this boy for about a year ago. He is a sweat boy, a 8 years old boy. loves to smile, so friendly, but a quiet boy. If you do not say something, he will not say something to you too. These couple months, me and my wife get closer to him. He said that everyday his mom got angry easily. She could hit him with things on her hands. His dad is still in the prison for some reasons of crimes. This sweet boy is so lonely. He said that sometimes, he cried alone. people said that he has no more future, having dad and mom like this.
We can feel the sadness, even until now. Daily life with the street children has touched our deepest heart, our deepest humanity power, to do something to these kinds of children. Can you imagine, there are so many street children around us ? can you imagine that everyday they have to face dangers, even death. If we care enough for the children, we can do something.... to heal these broken hearts... let's do something ... something small to all children at risk around us...
LET'S HEAL THE BROKEN HEART WITH GOD'S LOVE
Learning to love others,
