Sometimes,
"Loving Your Neighbor"
means digging a ditch!
When our neighbor's houses are flooding...
What do we do?
Hurt for them,
Cry for them,
Pray for them!
Yes, we do all those things!
But, I really LOVE what my husband did!

| A rock barrier to keep the water from flowing into a community |
Today I'm thanking God for a husband
with a tender heart of mercy!
And learning...
The answers to our prayers sometimes come when we pick up a shovel and start digging!
"Oh, the joys of those who are kind to the poor!
ReplyDeleteThe LORD rescues them when they are in trouble.
The LORD protects them and keeps them alive.
HE gives them prosperity in the land and rescues them from their enemies.
The LORD nurses them when they are sick and restores them to health." Ps. 41:1-3
God put this on my heart this morning for your family. Our family is in the process of entering full-time missions, Lord-willing in Nairobi as well, and we came across your blog through MVI. Blessed by all that He is using you for there, and hope to meet you in the near future!
Theresa, I just saw your comment! Excited about your venture of faith... we would love to meet you - be sure to let us know when you will be here in Nairobi!
