Today was all about Mackee. I met her in Titanyen today…and for whatever reason she was drawn to me, she walked up and grabbed my hand after we had been there for a while. She took me to the other side of the “bible school” and just wanted to spend time with me I guess. We couldn’t say anything that we both understood, but we could both smile.

She had a beautiful smile, but her eyes often had a hint of sadness in them. I have seen the same look in Matthews eyes this week. It is solemn…it must be a look that God wears a lot. It is almost as her eyes knew more then they ever should.

We held hands and cuddled in that special way that I have never experienced before. It was an innocent child/brotherly affection that I haven’t really experienced before.

She found the cross necklaces while she was unzipping some of my bags. She grabbed one and I helped put it on her. Soon we had developed a system. I would put the camera away and she would zip it back up. It was adorable. She watched out for me and was trying to protect me when she could. She was jealous for my attention. She asked me to sit down so she could play in my beard and do my hair.

Today was a great day.

I still feel inadequate but that is not the point. I guess it all goes back to the verse ” I must decrease so that God can increase.”
