There is a scene in the movie Forrest Gump that shreds me every time I see it. When young Forrest and little Jenny are running to get away from Jenny’s abusive father, they hide out in a field and Jenny desperately prays; “Dear God, make me a bird. So I could fly far. Far far away from here.”
This week I had the staggering privilege of being with children who are getting their wings back. Wings that were once broken are being made strong again. While we celebrated the opening of our new safehome in the Philippines, I watched as children danced and sang. I watched them giggle and laugh like children should. I watched children fly. I live for these moments. I’m going home to hold my kids.
