She is a very sweet girl and you did a wonderful job of explaining your experience. Thank You for such a sweet note about her. I actually did a home visit with Tanya the first year I was in Ukraine.

Most of us know a "Tanya", isn't it a pleasure to be in their presence. Henri Nouwen writes (In the Name of Jesus) about letting go of his "relevant self"...being forced to reclaim the unadorned self where we are completely vulnerable, open to receive and give love regardless of our past accomplishments. Being in the presence of a person like Tanya quickly helps center us in that place. Thank you for sharing this reminder about this "richness toward God". Very nice story. j. “Rich in the Kingdom of God”,

I love it…. Most of us know a “Tanya”, isn’t it a pleasure to be in their presence.

So often we see things in a whole new perspective when those who are considered "the least" show the rest of us that we need to learn how to live! Beautiful story and such great insight.

Thank you for sharing and reminding me where God would have me focus my attention. We forget how much He loves His children and wants us to love them just as much. It's also amazing how we plan to bless and teach others as we prepare for mission trips and in the end we receive the best of life's lessons. God is truly remarkable. What a wonderful life lesson.
