Mother and son on leave of absent

Many things; many things keep us going, many to start counting or listing, closing our eyes to try and think of the one thing which keeps us awake might take a bit of time, how about we turn our eyes to our children, husband/wife, siblings or parents, the thought is beautiful, that much I can tell you.

At New Jerusalem Children’s Home – you do, yes you keep us going andnot only us you also keep those closer to you going with love, joy and inner smiles – Yes – you do, they might not have told you how much you matter in their lives but please be assuredthat as much as you never tell them that they are a reason you keepgoing they will equally not share their appreciation and feeling about your importance in their lives, but hey you are a pillar to many – ourselves included.

Please turn to the picture, mother and son – the son is the happiest child, he would run to you with so much love and giggle, he makes lifting a child up to be so joyful, he lands in one’s arms with so much babe love and trust.

Hearing his mother say “how do I ever thank you for this love and care you are giving my child” asking in Zulu, her head facing down – giving the utmost motherly respect, you could read from her tone and face how much she wants to be the one giving this joy to her child, you could see how much she is appreciating her baby’s love and joyful face – its easy to say “seeing her child happy keeps her going, it keeps her pushing for stability in her life so she could one day have her child and enjoy this pure love while providing for him”

What keeps us going as people of New Jerusalem Children’s Home?
