Chennai Experience.

Day 3 in Chennai and I love it more and more. The people just amaze me. I must try to be more grateful for what I have when I go home.

The children go off to school, hand in hand and seem, oh so happy. Not once have I heard a child whinge. They have so little but yet so much.

The faces of the men and women say so much without a single word. This evening we went to a street market stall and got some beads and the young lady that served us was absolutely stunning. Her smile was priceless and I asked if I could take her photo she posed for me and when I showed her the picture she was so insistent that I get a copy for her. Then she introduced me to her mother and father so proudly. A few more happy snaps and I promised I would take her a copy of them back. To make this young girl happy is so easy. I look forward to seeing her face when I drop them back.

There was a young mother at the corner of one of the streets today with her little baby, maybe 6mths old. Megan said she's there every day. Oh, could I take her and the baby home and scrub them up and give them food and love. I know I can't but I can keep them in my prayers.

There is so much more that I have seen, heard and smelt today but these are the two main things that stood out in my day.

Where ever you are at in your life today, just take some time to think of those who may be a little less fortunate than you.


And hopefully, what ever they are going through they can still smile.
