Love is in
the air!
Universally
accepted is the fact that February is the month of love. Flowers from all sizes
and colors bloom. Chocolates of all sizes and flavors abound. And restaurants
are fully-booked for the romantic dinners of emancipated couples in love.
Undeniably,
Valentines brings out the love amongst many of us.
On February
2, our small vacationing OFW community, Brgy. China, celebrated the month of
love early in a more significant way and a more deeply profound experience
without the commercial trappings of the season.
We visited
Grace to be Born shelter, a half-way house for the unborn and their mothers. We
brought a few baby needs for them and spent nearly two hours with these
heavenly infants and toddlers playing, talking, hugging and carrying them. Tita
Ester and her staffs were more than accommodating in replying to our queries
and personal questions about the stories of most kids and how the center helps
these kids get back to their mothers/families or to find foster or adoptive
families to give the love they need as they grow up.
When we left,
we were happy to be able to share love to these lovely kids but deep inside us,
we felt more blessed because we felt God’s love playing with us, talking to us,
hugging us and carrying our hearts.
