A Truly blessed day

Two great things happened today. First of all, I am happy to report that we had SUNSHINE this morning!!! Of course it is raining right now but it did shine for a little while. Second thing was a healing in the precario. One of our ladies recently had a baby and has been experiencing black outs that just are vision related, not passing out, just losing vision. So I called our doctor and he suggested that she have her blood pressure taken right away because he was worried it was related to the birth of the baby. It was fine so his next suggestion was a visit to an opthamologist. As we left last week we of course prayed for her. When we were getting ready to leave today she came out and told us that her vision is completely back to normal! Her eyes are burning a little but nothing major. Yeah God!

Sunless

Where is the sun?! I haven't seen it in over a week! Yes. I know it's rainy season here in Costa Rica, but come on already!!! The usual is beautiful sunny weather in the morning until at least 1 or 2 in the afternoon. We haven't gotten that in a long time. I'm ready for some sunny weather. It doesn't help either that it's dark by 5:30 every night. It's only 7 and I feel like I should be getting ready to go to sleep. The one good thing is everything sure is green!

Babies

One thing never changes. There will always be babies. I recently went to the states. I was gone for a little over two weeks. In that time we had 5 new babies born in the precario! Those are just the ones I know about. There could possible be more. I love delivering baskets to the new moms, or the moms that this is the 5th addition to their family. Babies always remind you of hope. We all need a little hope in our lives. They have it right there in their little faces as they look at you. They don't know that they've been born into a family that is struggling to have food each day, they just know that they are loved and cherished. As poor as most of our families are, giving a baby away is not an option. They will do everything in their power to make sure they have enough to eat, and clothes to wear. They may do without for themselves, but they try their best to have what their children need. No X-boxes or Gameboys here, just flat soccer balls and lots of love.
