Today started out on a down side. I went in at 6:30 AM to take a shower, and got dribbles out of the shower head. We had a team here (they were leaving today), but the generator was running, so we thought there SHOULD be water. Wasn't any. Don went over to see what the problem was. The knife switch, to change from city power to generator was BROKEN. It was on city, which we have VERY seldom, and we could not change it to generator. So, no power to the well house, so no water. Team did leave a hour or so later, then Don had to get to work and try to fix the problem. Praise God he was able to do that before we had to get ready for our "surprise" party.
And the party, well, it was SO nice. The food was really great. Everyone had given their order for food before hand. So we all had just what we wanted. And the hotel/restaurant gave us two cakes, free of charge. The pineapple upside down cake was FANTASTIC!
We were able to spend a bit of time with everyone. We were amazed by everyone who came to celebrate with us. Got some beautiful and some cute cards that we'll treasure. But it was the time with those there that was special. Had three Haitian pastors there, and that was a blessing. We really do work and associate with some really neat people.
These are just some of our friends who were there. Don was a bit busy, so didn't get a lot of pictures. Note the table settings... it was SO beautiful. This is a new hotel/restaurant. It has a huge wonderful pool, nice rooms, a restaurant, and special rooms for gatherings like ours. The food was great, but the company was extra special.
I'm still in awe over yesterday's happenings with the adoption process. We know we could not do it, but the Lord sure has been working overtime on it. God is simply AWESOME, isn't He?
This was short, but wanted to share out blessings with you all. Continue to pray that God smooths the path for the adoption and that it will progress quickly. Since our grandson's adoption took well over 4 years, this progress is a bit overwhelming. Although the wait was long for our son and his wife, I think they are very happy to have their son home with them and he is doing so well. No matter the wait, the child is well worth it!
Thank you all for your support and prayers. We need them constantly. Not sure why satan is zeroing in on us, but we have Someone on our side who is much stronger and more faithful, and we read the end of the book, and WE WIN!! Satan is defeated and God is the victor!!! AMEN! He walks with us daily and keeps us in His care!
Have a great, God centered, God inspired day!!
