fun at the orphanages

So yesterday and this evening we visited two orphanages, one for boys and one for girls. It didnt hit me as quickly as it did when i was in Guatemala, but it did yesterday evening. This kids live with each other, eat together, go to school together, grow up together, do everything together. They are each others friends but also family... They dont know what it is like to have a loving family, yet I am sure they desire one. But also, they do not know what it is like to simply be friends with the opposite sex...

It is so easy for us to take out families for granted, as well as our friends. In fact, it is easy to take everything for granted. What do you have that you should be thankful for? If it is a person, does that person know how you feel?
