What does love look like - A reflection by Audrey N.

"What does love look like? It has feet to go to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of others."   - St. Augustine

The 5 days I spent in Honduras allowed for my eyes and my heart to truly be opened to God’s beauty and simplicity.  In the small municipality of Campamento, I witnessed leaders like Nelson and his teachers, opening the minds of young children by teaching them the importance of an education and the value of acquiring a skill such as carpentry or metal working-the difference between making $3/day and $15/day. On graduation day, parents were filled with tears of pride and students gave speeches of endearment showing their appreciation to the parishioners of Good Shepherd and the sacrifices of their parents had mad by allowing them to attend school instead of working. Every child and adult we encountered in Honduras greeted us with a gentle smile and open arms; it was hard to feel anything other than love and joy when being around them.  The simplicity of God calling us to love one another is that which we so often miss in our technology filled, wireless networks today.
