She’s an orphan, taken in by an old widow who lives in the small community of Yula San Juan Nueva Esperanza. The widow, 65 years old, works in the fields while her daughter takes care of four orphans; a fifth orphan, a little 6 year old boy, is going to move in with them in a week.
This may be the best photo that’s come from any camera of mine–and disgruntlingly enough I wasn’t the one who took it. Deisy, a coworker, took the picture, in full-auto-mode. 1/6s shutter, iso 400, f3.0…like, what…but…how?
I tweeked the exposure in lightroom–the camera’s meter overcooked the exposure by a hair–otherwise it’s unedited.
Look at her smile.
Dear God please help this little girl to never ever forget how to spin around and dance and smile.
I will pray much to day that she will forever dance and know the Fathers love. children are meant to dance and sing… To be taught love and feel peace. We live in a fallen world that brings much pain to the innocent. Know that is true does not mean we remain silent… It means al long as we breath life in this fallen world we will fight the darkness and injustice and they to bring HIS light; so that it may shine through the darkness… So that someday they will know a better day is to come where sickness and pain are no more.
Touching post. I am reminded that God has placed a passion inside my soul and I will not allow the enemy to keep me from being a light for JESUS.
Thank you!
