Little words for unexpressible thoughts

I want to write a million unexpressible things, but the words fail me.

Here is a people who have very little and have the most extremely beautiful faith in God.

Here is a people who glorify God and when we come with food or clothing or the promise of a new home, they let you know you are a direct answer to their prayers.

Here is a people that give out of nothing and love unconditionally.

Here is a people who hope yet also a people who despair.

Here is a people who live on the streets and thrive on huffing glue to dull the hunger pains.

Here is a people who work hard and get next to nothing to feed little starving mouths.

Here is a people where few are employed.

Here is a people where the very young peddle sweets and toys for a few meager limps for their families.

Here is a people who have been driven through circumstance to a place that is hell on earth. That's at the Tegus dump.

Here is a people, of every sort. Whom God loves deeply and desires a relatonship with.

And it is only Christ who can take away their pain.

I'm pleased to know that you are being the hands and feet of Jesus who can take away their pain. Never let these unexpressible thoughts be lost or numbed. Just reading your words pricked my heart again thinking of what I experienced during my time there.
