HAPPY NEW YEAR

Christmas over for another year and a new year looming large. What will 2007 bring especially in this land of turmoil? We can only trust the Lord and continue what He's begun through the work of our hands. We are in the process of feeding 500 kids for Christmas, the first being the mountain village Russeau. We were gripped with fighting back tears as these kids got their container of rice/beans and a fried chicken leg. They opened the box then closed it and then opened it again and looked a second time. They couldn't believe their eyes. We had to encourage them to go ahead and eat. And eat they did!!! Our Christmas dinner was spent with other missionaries and several Haitian young people, it was fun. We've been "mission sitting" for a week and it's been good and bad. I'm determined to think on the good which has been much needed quiet time, studying and praying. We'll be here over New Years going into St Marc, only for necessary items and to feed the dog. The blessing is we won't have to live through the hours of noise all night long as the Haitians welcome the New Year. It's next to torment. One more week and we'll be back at El Shaddai, into our routine. Routines are good for the soul although they get tiring, I think I function better when in the throes of such! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! MAY OUR LORD BLESS YOU EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY,ABOVE ALL YOU COULD ASK FOR THINK OF OR IMAGINE.
