John and Cindy McCain: Love and Compassion
Following a devastating cylcone in Bangladesh in 1993, Cindy McCain visited a Mother Teresa orphanage in Dhaka.
Cindy said, “All around me were the children, and the desperate faces of their mothers. The pain was overwhelming, and I felt helpless. But then I visited an orphanage begun by Mother Teresa, and two very sick little girls captured my heart. There was something I could do. I could take them home. And so I did.”
Cindy McCain flew home and carried baby Bridget off the plane to meet John.
John McCain’s reaction to his wife bringing home a baby tells me so much about his character.
When Cindy met him getting off the plane with the baby in her arms, John McCain said something like, “Where’s she going?”
Cindy replied, “To our house”
John said, “That’s what I thought.”
I love it!!!!
(Not sure of their exact words. I heard it on the video that came before Cindy McCain’s speech.)
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.” James 1:27
“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.” Mark 9:36 NIV

Cindy McCain has certainly been short-changed by the media. I knew very little about her until the GOP convention. What a fine caring person she is! Such substance of character!
