Dear Chanti,
Edwin mentioned that you are going in for eye surgery tomorrow and just wanted you to know you will be in my every thought and prayer. I pray you will have a successful surgery and a very speedy recovery.
Please stay calm, as with God waatching and guiding you, you will be just fine and your sight will be restored. Have faith and know there are many praying for you....
Be safe always and may "God Bless"

This is so sad, that children in war torn countries cannot have the innocence of childhood. Why can't people in the world just get along?
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and all the children of the world, especially those in war torn countries. May the Lord Jesus be with you always, and at your side constantly.

A vivid and emotional write of a stark reality, where innosense is lost to the ravages of poverty, war, death, and carnage. Sadder yet, is the fact that those affected are doomed to repeat their history, for it is all they know. There is no "quick-fix" or any solutions on the near horizon for Africa nor the Middle East.
Your painting is a perfect companion piece, and you Snuggles, are the perfect companion :) I'm a lucky guy !!!

Jesus said once "anyone doing wrong to one of my children should be thrown down a well with a stone tied around his neck"
Today we have not so many wells, we will never have, but abuse to children will go on until HIS patience runs to empty.

How much talent have you developed. I asked my MP what is being done, regards Africa. England is leading the way, yet whilst that happens peoples of Africa lose theirs...
It may take time due to the complexity of the warlords, yet we in the free world must never give up on Africa... |

Such an emotional write, one that allows the reader to visualize life through the eyes of a child who has been stripped and robbed of their youth...a time that was meant for innocence and play war...not the gruesome antics of real life war! A powerful write and stunning portrait! Very talented my friend!
