Friday
I was driving up to the farm tonight, an hour and a half of peace and quiet (which is rare these days) and I had the privilege of witnessing a gorgeous sunset. As this week comes to an end, as the sunsets on a week of generosity and love poured out on our little family...I am sure this road we chose, was the one we were supposed to travel down. I was speeding down the highway and the sun was slowly melting into the fields behind the windmills and I feel like God gave me a vision of a long road (longer than we thought) with a tiny face (on the other end) too far away to see. As we walk down the road trying to get a better view of the little face, we walk by friend after friend, co-workers, complete strangers with kindness in their eyes, young people, old people, everyone that has said a prayer for us or given a dollar...we get to briefly hug them, try to verbalize what they mean to us and then keep walking towards the little face. Maybe that is what our journey will be like on the way to heaven. Maybe we are getting a taste of that right now. Heaven on earth. I am fairly certain, when I see that little face for the first time, that will be the closest to heaven I will get until I see the face of the one that died for me.
I tried to take a picture of the sunset through my dirty windows, and with the trucks whizzing by...this is all I could capture on my phone. I hope it gives you a sense of the way I felt tonight as I cried tears of joy. God Bless you for giving. God bless you for caring for this one orphan...I pray you continue to be moved by the plight of the orphans and don't stop opening your hearts to them. If we don't speak up for them, who will?
We raised $195 today...which still amazes me. The week is coming to a close. We have one more day to get the word out and still a lot of money to raise. Most people have Saturday off and check their facebook pages...let's share it one more day team. I love you people so much.
"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever amen." Ephesians 3:20-21
Amen.
