This warms my heart… inspite of his/her circumstances, his/her eyes smile out from behind his/her hands, instantly putting a smile on my face. Children are amazing. Their innocence and resilience is mind blowing. They truly are gifts from God. We need to do more to protect them, to ensure that they’re safe, and that they grow surrounded in love, peace and happiness. God bless all the children of this world, especially those living in poverty, are homeless, sick, dying, victims of heinous crimes, and facing hardship.
