Kids back in school!

It is good for us to have our own school for the little ones. Our school is from preschool up to the 6th grade. The walk from school to home is well just what you see here. I am standing in front of the main building where the children live. Some of the children that come to us have never been to school, and their are others that have learning challenges that would make being in the public school difficult. We have devotions in the morning and of course keep a watchful eye on our children. 

Learning is the gift that makes us God's special creation. We should never stop learning.

God bless you and have a wonderful day!

Casa family

Here are some pictures from a few Casa kids that are no longer with us, but still think of the Casa as their family. We had a wonderful time visiting with  a few that we have not seen in many years and others that we do see throughout the year as they live in the city. One person that we had not seen for several years was very excited to be back with her children. She said that the seeds of what was planted in her is what now gives her strength. She was very sorry for the trouble she caused when she was here. Now a wonderful women that loves the Lord and works to follow what she already had planted in her heart. This time of year is always a joy in that way as we get visitors from our past. Many blessings to you and have a wonderful Christmas season!

A baby needs love

Last Sunday we had a special service to present a baby before God. The mother Caty was a child at the Casa many years ago and had been helping us in many ways in Casa de Niños. She wanted to present her baby with us at the Casa because it still feels like her home. I shared about the story of Samuel with everyone and gave an illustration of a leaf that will dry up if it does not have a connection with the tree. A unconditional love is what is needed for a life to not dry up or become hard. As what Jesus taught us in John 15 about being connected to the true vine. True love only comes from following God's principles about unconditional love. The world does need real true love. Not something less.

God bless you and have a wonderful day!
