Waiting for rain

          It’s getting hot again.  The last few weeks of October brought temperatures hovering around 100F and as my body was finally adjusting to the heat we had a wonderful reprieve!  I can’t remember being so appreciative of clouds, rain and goosebumps as I was last week.  This week the oven temps are rising and building up to the start of rainy season and cooler weather--I hope.  Today the sun beat down over a cloudless sky and the trees were still without a breeze.  In my mind the day was broken down this way: hot, hotter and back to just hot instead of morning, afternoon and evening.  Very thankful for fans and electricity. :)

Flamboyants!
          For those who read the last post, there is an unfortunate update about TN.  Her little body was too weak to keep fighting and she passed away this morning.  Please pray for TN’s family as she is the 3rd of 3 children to die and her parents are HIV positive and devastated.


“Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality.  At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need.  Then there will be equality, as it is written: ‘He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little.’”
2  Corinthians 8:13-15

  1. I'm so sad to hear about little TN. She looks like such a sweetheart. I'll say a prayer for her family.

    And I couldn't agree more with that scripture. I know God is looking down on you and is so pleased with all you're doing. You are an inspiration. Thank you for giving what you have when others are in need.
