hot dogs and answered prayer

took cora with me this past friday to visit the kids. she loves to go and it had been a while since she'd last been. at home we pray for the kids every night and ask God to "provide" for them. quite an abstract thought for a four, almost five year old.

as we were hanging out on the train station floor, talking, coloring, drinking mate (mah-teh), a local vendor appears with free hot dogs for the kids. an act beautiful in itself, was also a vivid example to my daughter of how God provides for the youth we work among. that vendor was a real, live answer to a little girl's prayer.
