Little Joy

May 2nd, 2006

An eight year old orphaned Liberian girl whom I named Joy, was such an inspiration to me when I was living in Liberia. She would often come to me with her bubbly little self to ask for a hug, or a song about Jesus. One day I gave her a large piece of fruit, a nice juicy ripe mango! Her eyes began to sparkle as she took the mango, carefully peeling off and eating only one tiny section. With a big smile and a thank you, she ran to her friends to share the rest of the mango with them! That was probably her only meal that day.
