Street Kids Follow Up

The other day I blogged about two street kids we met at the park. (It was titled God Really Is In Control) It was one of those days that started out not so good and ended up amazing. So Sunday we went back to the park to meet Michelle and her street kids. I was so exctied to see if Jefferson and Eddie would show up. THEY CAME! We didn't see them until we were almost ready to go. I was so thrilled to see them. They seemed happy to see us too.

We were able to introduce them to Michelle. She talked to them a bit and found out that their parents were vedors in the park. We went to talk to them. She did the talking - I just smiled :) She told me as we walked away that she had explained that she wanted the boys to meet her on Sundays at 2:00 to play and talk. Dad seemed unsure at first but the more she talked the more interested he seemed. He ended by saying that he would send the boys next Sunday.

Michelle explained that they may bring a different dynamic to her group. She said that their father seemed quite involved with the boys which is unusual for the kids she deals with. She also said that the fact that the whole family was in the park together was not typical. The boys parents each had a cart that they were selling items from very near each other in the park.

How amazing that God used my family to make this introduction happen. I feel honored and blessed to have met these incredible boys. I pray that we will see them again this Sunday.
