What a great first day of work! We passed countless bags of sand up the hill...we passed every imaginable size of rock down the hill and carried walls back up. We held babies, played soccer and loved on everyone. And guess what? They loved on us back.
How often are we guilty of focusing on what we don't have rather than reflecting on everything that God has blessed us with? If you're like me, too often! But here in the Santa Rosita community, I see a people who don't have. Yet they give their hearts freely and love so big!
So today I give thanks for so much but I especially give thanks for the reason I am here:
"Lord, I pray with thanksgiving for all who offer prayers for me, my team and this entire trip. I realize That I don't even know some of those people, yet they are enveloping me in prayer. Bless their lives and their faith, Father. Pour out your Spirit upon them today. And I also thankfully praise you that at this very moment you, dear Jesus, are also interceding for me. That so encourages and steadies me! Thank you, Lord Jesus. Amen." "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NKJV)
Lord,
