The theme of the Prodigal Son ran throughout our various
Father’s Day activities in the Jinja area. The story is so easily adaptable for
people of all ages and stages of life. These tiny tots were no exception. Each
having a coloring page, they’ve become quite practiced about what to do with
those pages now, I talked to these tiny orphans about the love of their
heavenly Father and that even if they make mistakes they can go to him and say
sorry and he’ll love them just the same.
As children are children, though, they were a smidge more
interested in the new Candy Land game I brought for them. As usual, the eldest
boy, Chris, took charge of setting up and teaching the others about colors and
how to play. I even got to practice my Luganda colors a bit. Oh how I love
these kids and their caretakers. Such a lovely and very large family.
