time will heal all w0unds[ We were in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, in East Africa, during a famine. It was so bad we walked into one village and everyone was dead. There is a stench of death that gets into your hair, gets onto your skin, gets onto your clothes, and you can’t wash it off. We saw this little boy. You could tell he had worms and was malnourished; his stomach was protruding. When a child is extremely malnourished, the hair turns a reddish color, and the skin is extremely crinkled as though he’s a hundred years old. The photographer had a grapefruit which he gave to the boy. The boy was so weak that he didn’t had the strength to hold the grapefruit, so we cut it into half and gave it to him. He picked it up, looked at us as if to say thanks, and began to walk back towards his village. We walked behind him in a way he couldn’t see us. When he entered the village, there was on the ground a little boy who I thought was dead. His eyes were completely glazed over. It turned out to be that this was his younger brother. The older brother knelt down next to his younger brother, bit off a piece of the grapefruit, and chewed it. Then he opened up his younger brother’s mouth, put the grapefruit in, and worked his brother’s jaw up and down. We learnt that the older brother had been doing that for the younger brother for the past two weeks. A couple of days later, the older brother died of malnutrition and the younger brother lived. I remembered driving home that night thinking, I wonder if this is what Jesus meant when he said, (there is no greater love than to lay down our live for somebody else) ] By: Jack Kelley hope this story will really impact e lives of others! cuz it impacted mine! |
Goodbye.
