A quick update

Well, Don made more deliveries of buckets...what a sad, sad country we live in. The house below (and yes, you are seeing ALL of the house), has 3 adults and 6 kids in it. And no way to earn any money. And as you can see, no place for a garden. It's has a dirt floor. And one double bed...the rest sleep on the floor. And there, but for the grace of God, go I. We really are glad God has put us in a position to help others, especially in situations like these.Sure makes you think of Christmas and all the gifts that get broken the first day, or aren't appreciated or wanted, doesn't it? God's gift is all we really need, His Son. And these people are the ones turning to Him.

Not a lot of other news here right now. We are working hard at all the little things, to get caught up. And then the airport, of course. Had to laugh today. Got to the airport, and I said, "Wow, everyone is in uniform and working hard today. What's up?" The head guy at the airport for the UN said, "Well, a division of Homeland Security is here. Since US planes land here, they have to check things out. Like security and how bags are checked, and things like that." It was just sort of a shock to see things working as they should. Wonder if it will last...maybe it will, and things will look up.

For now, I'll close with our prayer that your holiday season, yes, the CHRISTMAS season will be blessed beyond measure with the Gift of God's Son!!! (I'm not into "political correctness" when it reflects on the Lord.) This IS Christmas, and Jesus IS the reason for the season, and I won't leave HIM out of it.

Sorry for sounding off, but it does upset me that they are taking the real reason for Christmas out of Christmas. But those of us who know Him, can keep Him at the forefront of all things in our lives. Because He came, died and rose again, we have an eternal future with Him. AMEN!!!
