God has provided another wonderful day for us! We started
our day by walked the children to school and carrying the bottles of water
along the way. During our trip there and back, we are greeted with many hugs
and smiles from the village people.
Our morning devotion theme was “Worrying” from passage Matthew
6:25. I know we all struggle with worrying on a daily basis, however, when we
worry we have a lack of faith in our Lord. The Lord will take care of all “therefore
don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things”
During bible study, we taught the children how Jonah was
reluctant to teach about the Lord so he ran from Him. Finally, God created a
storm and Jonah (after being swallowed by a whale) realized he should have
spread His word without questioning.
After some free time, it was time to walk the afternoon kids
to school. How beautiful Rwanda truly is!
Then we played some volleyball and football. The kids seem
to be good at any sport that is thrown their way! It’s amazing to see how
talented they are. We made a butterfly craft with paper, glitter, and pipe
cleaners. To say the kids love glitter would be an understatement. However,
what a great joy to see them laughing and smiling from ear to ear!
During family time, we played with Playdough. This was to
symbolize having an open heart for God and to accept how God molded us to who
we are supposed to be.
Our devotion to end our night was about “Judging”. Reading from passage Matthew 7:4, this
emphasized to not judge because we ourselves have specks in our own eyes.
It is so wonderful to see how amazing these kids are. We
continue to pray that God keeps our hearts and eyes open to all the beautiful
things surrounding us. It is great joy to see how happy these kids are with
just the basics-food, shelter, water-in life. I think we could all learn from
them. We are all very blessed to be
here! Thanks for keeping us in your prayers and have a wonderful night!
Thank you for your prayers!
