Just Look At Those Eyes

I have two very beautiful daughters. So beautiful in fact that I think I will enroll them in a nunnery somewhere until they are 40 yrs old. The thing that fascinates me about both of my daughters, and has done since they were born, are their eyes. When they were just born, their eyes were so clear, so perfect, so innocent. Their eyes were so intent in searching out new things, following new sounds, absorbing information. As they have grown, and they have learned more things, their eyes still hold power and beauty. Their eyes are still the window into their hearts where you can see love, or fear, or frustration, or excitement, or joy. They both smile with their eyes, and they both cry with their eyes.

As you look at the television, or surf the internet you will see many images and pictures of people. we have recently had our senses shocked by the devastation that has occurred in Haiti. When you look in the eyes of those affected by the earthquake you can often see a very different story coming from their eyes. Behind their eyes is often pain, or fear, or a longing for help.

When you look through the photographs of the children on the Compassion International website, there are countless stories that are being told, through the eyes of these precious children. For many, their story is one of hardship and pain. For may their story is a far cry from our own story. However, for many, when you look at their eyes, there is hope. There is a sparkle that comes through the screen and impacts your heart.

When you look at these wonderful kids who are so desperately in need of help, you dont see destruction, or loneliness, or resignation in their eyes. You see ..., well, the best thing for you to do is go to Compassion International for yourself and look into their eyes. See what story they tell you.
