A Smile

Is there anything better than a smile?  I don't think so.  Today was a special day.   We got a letter from Daniel, our little boy we sponsor through Compassion.   He turned 8 on Sept. 13 and we sent money again this year for his birthday.   Today with his letter we got a photo and in the picture he is standing with his birthday money purchases consisting of a jacket, pants, athletic shorts for gym class, socks and some soccer socks.  But for the first time we also got a smile...the first one in any picture from him.  That was huge and I just grinned ear to ear when I saw it.  It was confirmation that he is beginning to feel more comfortable with us and getting to know us.   He said he wants to meet us in person and so do we someday.
