Dia del Padre

Feliz Dia del Padre para todos los padres que conozco en Bolivia! Happy Father’s day to all of the father’s that I know in Bolivia! I have gotten to know some very special fathers in Bolivia who love their children deeply and sacrifice greatly for their families. They are a tremendous blessing in my life as well!

But today is also a rough day for many of the Bolivians that I love so much. So many of them have never known their fathers. And so many more have been abused and abandoned by their father. For some reason God has seen fit to bless me with a wonderful and complete family, and so I can only imagine what it is like for my boys at the BLC to have this bitter reminder. I think of the special projects that I did in school as a child to celebrate Mother’s and Father’s days and pray that my boys are always confident in being loved.

A special thank you to all of the Padrinos (godfathers…what the boys call their sponsors) who have become involved in the lives of the BLC boys. You mean so very much to them!!
