The view from the mission house.







Gabby and I the day our team returned to the States.









A great book to read: "At Home With the Poor" by Jean Thomas. (It takes place in Haiti).














 Being surrounded by such loving people, made me feel...at home.

2008?

Our family went to "The Island" aka "Anne's Land" a few years ago. I can't get over Olivia's hair!

Brite the cow.

Joseph really enjoyed feeding the calf.





Somehow, his hand found it's way into Brite's mouth!

\



I believe this is a tried and failed attempt to ride this poor animal!!
















He loves farming:)





Joseph and Dad with the newest member of the family in 2010.















Just thought that I would throw this picture of William in with one of his newest accomplishments. :)

Morning Musings




                                                 






"The situations that grow me the most are those in which I feel the most helpless, but in which love compels me to keep trying."
 - Greg Boyd
 
 
 





Somewhere we know that without silence, words lose their meaning,
that without listening, speaking no longer heals, that without distance, closeness cannot cure.
-Nouwen
 
 
 







"Faithfulness is such a rare commodity today that it has disappeared from our lexicon. So let me insert the dictionary definition: “Reliable; trusted; steady in allegiance or affection; loyal; constant.” In this day of quick divorce, loan defaults, addictive personalities, broken contracts, deadbeat dads and religious scandals, we’re surprised when somebody actually follows through and keeps their promises."

 ~Unknown








Faith is like radar that sees through the fog. 
~Corrie Ten Boom








Humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less.
~C.S. Lewis









"God is never behind time"
~Mary Slessor






"Come unto Me all who are weary, and I will give you strength."

Joyful!

So I'll never have to worry about what tomorrow may bring, 'cause my faith is on solid rock, I am counting on God.
Thank you, Jesus!
