the name of an angel
Today, I took a little recce trip at the House of Joy children's home to make sure the place was suitable for our little home movie thingy. There I met the admin and PR lady of the House of Joy.
We chatted a little while she showed me the premises in which we would have our movie. I asked her if any cinema or corporate sponsor had ever brought the kids out to the movies.
"We saw Nemo," she said, which was quite a while back, I thought. Then she added, "But I think the kids will really enjoy Spiderman!"
As she said that, her eyes lit up with excitement. She was happy for the kids. I felt her joy. The kind of joy you would find in mothers, over their children. It overwhelmed me, her selflessness.
At that moment, I knew I had just seen God. He was right there in her eyes.
bless her. :)
