Seal and Dr. Seuss

June 24, 2006
This is Lincoln. Dr. Neal was here today checking out the kids in the shelter. One of the care givers told him that she saw him on t.v. Apparently the music artist Seal visited him at the hospice as part of a t.v. show that was shown in South Africa and will be shown in Great Britain on BBC. He told me how Seal was very moved by his visit with the patients in the hospice. When Jenny and I were there we met a patient named Tebogo who used to not be able to walk because of TB. With the treatment that he has received at the hospice he now is able to walk again. Dr. Neil introduced Seal to Tebogo, and when Tebogo got up to walk in his unstable and jerky manner, Seal began to cry. Dr. Neil told me that Seal wants to visit South Africa again and Dr. Neil told him that he wants to bring him to the shelter. That would be some good publicity for us.
Tonight I took Madison and Kyler over to the shelter at bedtime to read a bedtime story to the kids and pray with them. They don’t usually get bed time books, because the caregivers have their hands full just getting all of the kids to bed. It was a really special time. We read Green Eggs and Ham. All of the kids loved it and Madison said the bed time prayer for the kids. She’s getting so big, I’m proud of her. Words can’t express how fulfilling our work is here. Having the privilege of working here and helping show these kids God’s love brings so much satisfaction. We are so thankful for everyone back in the States that has come together to help support us. Thank you to everyone that has made this possible.
