Blessed Beyond Measure

We have been so encouraged by our visit with the King Family. We are so blessed to have them here with us. In addition, they brought with them Amanda's wonderful friend Willow. Spending time singing together, serving together and being together has been like 'old times' and yet even better probably because we know that the time is short this time.. funny how much more you appreciate the most wonderful things in your life when you know that it may not be there forever. I won't think about that now though! :) For now we are having such a wonderful time with one another.. we praise Jesus that He provided for them to come for a visit!

In addition, Valley Christian Fellowship and the wonderful brothers and sisters there have made us ladies dresses as well as sent suitcases of things that we were in desperate need of: well and goodies too of course! ( :> ) Phebe and the ladies sent us wonderful things such as fabric, sponges, pans, nuts, socks, shirts and pants for the boys... SO many things which are expensive or hard to find here! Thank you so much brothers and sisters. Your kindness has been such an encouragement to us.

Also, we had food funds and 3 totes full of children's clothing donated by friends and family. We have already been able to bless a few families with both the food and clothing. We thank the Lord for his provision for the few families that the Lord has placed in our lives here in Belize. We praise the Lord that he has allowed us to be his hands and feet in their lives. And while we are able to provide some small practical needs, please pray for them who also are in desperate spiritual need. They need Jesus Christ as their provision, Lord and Savior.

Jeremy had originally asked if we could possibly find a house near ours to rent for the month. This would allow them to have a bit of family time and privacy. Little did all of us know that the Lord would provide a portable house which could be moved and placed just 10 feet from our house. :)

So safe shalt thou go on;

Fix on his work thy steadfast eye,

So shall thy work be done.- Paul Gerhardt
