A few weeks ago, 2 volunteers set up a visit to NCF’s children home. They had bought and put together care packs for each child. These ladies have a desire to spoil the children a bit and help out the house in any way they can. We were so blessed by their heart to serve and help!
On Friday afternoon I took the ladies to the house to drop off the goodies and packets. We were there before the older kids got home from school, so just our three little ones were around. The ladies were so excited to leave a little surprise on each child bed. And of course we had some fun with the little ones and took a few pictures.
Remember our little baby girl? I bonded with her the first day we meet and carry her around on my back African style. Since then we have played a bit but not much. I typically do more admin stuff for the house then the day-to-day things. With these two new faces at the house our baby was a little shy and unsure. Which is actually a healthy, encouraging thing; that means she had attached to her new family! She snuggled right into my chest when the ladies were talking with her, she didn’t mind looking and listening but she didn’t want to leave my arms. She needed the comfort of the familiar with the little bit of newness. And my heart rejoiced that I could be her familiar.
Ps once they busted out candy she didn’t need familiar anymore!
