Missing my second Home

Many people have the mind set that after a certain period of time, everything feels normal again. You forget things and move on in life. We fill our lives with so much "stuff" that we don't take the time to reflect on those in our past, in our future, and in our present.
After hearing that Walter won't be able to come to the States right now because of the political unrest in Honduras, I've missed that country more than ever. After looking through pictures of my little kids in Honduras and the friends....more like family, whom I've made over the years in Honduras, homesick for Honduras is an understatement. More than ever I just want to pick up a little, dirty, skinny,adorable child to hug on them, I want to be able make a housekeeper at Hotel Clarion smile by simply saying "buenas dias", I want to see the smile of a family who is getting the gift of food/clothing, I want to hear spanish everywhere I go, I want to see how God is using those in poverty to spread his love. I miss their compassion.
 Please be praying that things will get back to normal in Honduras very soon, as well as the safety of everyone there!
