"We love, because God first loved us" Mommy Christy sang out as the children learned one of the many childhood Scriptures songs my (Christy) mother taught me. We had just learned the meaning of the colors in the "Wordless Book" that Mommy and Daddy Christy brought with them from Harderwyk CRC in Holland. At the end, mommy gave an application that I'm not even sure the children understood the extent of. Jesus loved us, the green page at the end is all about growing with Jesus, which is growing in love. Mommy Christy loved the children by spending time with them all afternoon, teaching them a song, and handing out crayons and sweets they had brought for them. She was loving because the message of the "Wordless Book" is part of the fabric of her being: "Jesus has loved me, now let me love them."
So thankful to have Mommy and Daddy Christy loving our community with us and putting actions to the Book, the letter of love God has given us!
PLEASE keep praying for us as we have a meeting for solar cookers this week, and a meeting for water filters as well! Zach continues to get stronger but still needs your prayers, and our baby is getting stronger too, as her kicks indicate. Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey...may all of our lives bring a message that is as clear as the Wordless Book: "We love, because God first loved us."
