What joy and dancing and fun and ok, yes, some showing off, but in a delightful way! \u00a0Today was harvest Sunday at the local church here, and people brought in offerings of peanuts, vegetables, fruit, manioc (their everyday staple here) and even a goat and who knows what else! \u00a0 It was a noisy and wonderfully happy celebration of thankfulness to God. \u00a0Kim’s prayer expressed it beautifully, “if we have wisdom, it only comes from You, if we have riches, it only comes from You, if we spouses and children, they only come from You…” \u00a0 I am so very thankful to be blessed with so much! \u00a0I have plenty of peanuts\u263ato eat and can be in touch with my family at the drop of a hat thanks to our faster internet, I have friends to laugh and cry with, both believers and yet wanderers, and I have a God who loves me and values me SO much that He died for me! \u00a0JOY!!!!<\/p>\n
