Installment 14
I won’t be long this time. We got number 91 this afternoon. She has the saddest eyes I’ve ever seen. Her name is Mary Riziki and she is 11 months old. Her mother is mentally incompetent and her father is going to prison for raping this precious little one. She is all torn up and …well enough said. This really angers me. I can put up with a lot of injustice, but this is too much. I have my thoughts about what I’d like to see happen to the father, but that’s between me and God. This is my first time getting a baby here other than Blessing, and so am having a hard time with this little one’s story. I know that it isn’t unusual here, but it sucks. I’m just all the more thankful for this place….she has hope for the future. There were 82 here in October, now 91...all with stories, now all with hope. I’ll be back tomorrow, Lord willing.
Praying for this little girl. It brought me to tears. Thankful for God's redemption in the lives of people like Mary and asking him for healing for this little girl.
ReplyDeleteTerry, I am so sorry. It's just unimaginable. But there you are right in the reality of it all. Thank-you for writing, this one had to be hard to share.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary! You're safe now.
When I hear a story like this, Terry, I realize how much work I still have to do on me. I still need some work on the forgiveness thing. I'm not sure I'll ever get there. Pretty close to tears on this one, my friend.
