He is Here and He is Not Silent

One of our Graduates!

Today, preparations were made for the second quarter birthdays & Kindergarten Graduation for the Mary Frenter Bilingual School. There were 25 gringos present along with our 88 children. The graduates were clad with green caps and gowns and smiles across their faces. The children graced us with a song in English. Their voices were pure and childlike as they touched deep within our hearts. We had both graduation cake and birthday cake for all. Stephanie, job well done!

While graduation certificates and songs were manifest in the ceremony; we had busy bees in the back room making animal balloons to pass out to all the children. I have never seen so many happy faces. There tummies were full of sweet treats, their hands were full swinging balloons back and forth and an occasional POP would ring in the air followed by laughter. I think the children had a lot of fun; don’t you?

Singing a Song in English

This isn't the only thing that transpired today….Papa is still creating. Well, do you remember the fishes and the loves story in the bible? Matthew 14:13-21. The day started with Jesus having compassion on the multitude and healed their sick. Then evening came, the disciples wanted Jesus to send the people away so they could buy food.  Jesus said, “You give them something to eat.”  The story continues with the disciples collecting fives loaves and two fish; Jesus sit the multitude down and looks up into heaven. He then blessed and broke and gave the disciples the food. We know how it ends, right? Everyone eats until they are full and they picked up 12 baskets of fragments that remained. The key is that 5, 000 were fed that day. Well, I didn't feed five thousand today but I was passing out Scency lotions and realized I would not have enough but I decided to continue anyway. My heart wanted to give each of the mommies this beautiful scented lotion just a little thank you, I appreciate what you do. I just started giving them away.I had just enough and that was more than I brought. I brought 11 and handed out 12. I just keep reaching into my bag and didn't run out until I was done. It is not quite the feeding of the five thousand but it is a very real indication that God cares about even the small things in life. He cares about you…..and He cares about me….

Waiting for Cake!
