Amazing Love - Award Winning Design
Good morning to all,
This will be my last posting from Honduras. Our last work day in Honduras was started with everyone traveling up the mountain to 4 different work sites to complete 4 additional homes. As usual, we met some obstacles, but with God's help we were able to provide at least 20 more people with shelter before leaving this beautiful country. After dinner, we had a final devotional to reflect on our time spent here and what has touched each of us. Keith shared with the group that both the liason here in Honduras that helps to organize the logistics with Keith and the owner of the hotel were quite impressed with our group. There is no other group that is as productive as our group.
We have witnessed the most absolutely incredible thing while here in Honduras. God has designed our hearts with the amazing ability to grow. As we leave a little piece of our hearts with the family of the new home we built, the child who was taught at VBS, fed a school lunch, prayed with for healing at the hospital, given a stuffed toy, bubbles to blow, food to eat, clothing to wear, provided running water at their school, a classroom to learn about God, a New Testament bible to read, our hearts don't shrink, but actually continue to grow. As we give up a piece of our heart, God replaces it with more so we can continue to share our talents, compassion and love. It's an award winning design!
Amazing love how could it be
That you my King would die for me,
Amazing love, I know it's true
It's my joy to honor you
In all I do, I honor you.
As we are homeward bound this morning, I know that so many people our praying for our safe return. Thank you for your continued prayers and support for us during this mission trip. We are eager to see you and already planning in our hearts for next year. Tonia will be posting more pictures on Tuesday so be sure to look for more fabulous shots of your amazing kids.
Adios until next year and thanks for being such a great audience to my early morning reflections.
