A longing to hope for

Captured these moments this morning:

(1) Little girl: Oh, goody, goody, here's the ice cream man!

(2) Little girl: Now, how do I get past these big guys...

(3) Little girl: See, small doesn't mean weak if you really want something bad enough!

After Sunday Mass at the Sihanoukville parish, children would run towards the ice cream man. Their excitement tells me that it's something that they've been longing to do for the whole week.... to grab an ice cream and relish it!

Now that sets me thinking... how wonderful it must be for us older ones if this is the same way we feel with our longing for YOU every Sunday. After all, isn't "The Bread of Life" far more nutritious than ice cream?
