today... 20 more days

Hi Team!

 

wow i am completely beat.  we raised almost 1000 dollars for our Haiti projects at the art fair!  woo hoo!  Thanks to all who supported us and came out!

 

A couple of reminders:  We will be commissioned at the 9am service on the 26th.

Our hunger dinner is next Sunday night.  We will also be having a bake sale that morning at church.

 

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life^[a]?  28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

25¶ Se poutèt sa, mwen di nou: Pa bat kò nou pou sa nou bezwen pou manje ak bwè pou viv, ni pou rad nou bezwen pou mete sou kò nou. Eske lavi a pa pi konsekan pase manje? Eske kò a pa gen plis valè pase rad?  26Gade zwazo k'ap vole nan syèl la: yo pa plante, yo pa fè rekòt, yo pa sere anyen nan galata. Men, Papa nou ki nan syèl la ba yo manje. Eske nou pa vo pi plis pase zwazo yo?  27Kilès nan nou, afòs li fè tèt li travay, kapab mete kèk lanne an plis sou lavi l'?  28Poukisa pou n'ap bat kò nou pou rad pou nou mete sou nou? Gade ki jan flè raje yo pouse nan savann. Yo pa travay, yo pa fè rad.  29Malgre sa, m'ap di nou sa, wa Salomon ki wa Salomon, ak tout richès li yo, pa t' gen bèl rad tankou yonn nan flè sa yo.  30Se konsa Bondye abiye pye zèb yo ki la nan jaden an jòdi a, men denmen yo jete sa nan dife pou chofe fou. Nou pa bezwen mande si li p'ap abiye nou tou. Ala manke nou manke konfyans nan Bondye!  31Pa chaje tèt nou ak yon bann keksyon: Kisa n' pral manje? Kisa n' pral bwè? Kisa n' pral mete sou nou?  32Tout bagay sa yo, se moun lòt nasyon yo k'ap kouri dèyè yo tout tan. Men nou menm, nou gen yon Papa nan syèl la ki konnen nou bezwen tout bagay sa yo.  33Pito nou chache bay bagay peyi Wa ki nan syèl la premye plas nan lavi nou, chache viv jan Bondye vle l' la anvan. Lè sa a, Bondye va ban nou tout lòt bagay sa yo tou.  34Se sa ki fè, pa chaje tèt nou pou denmen, paske denmen va gen zafè pa li. Chak jou gen kont chay pa yo.

Matthew 6:25-34

 

David is fairly new to the orphange and still trying to find his place. He is always smiling and loves to hug and be hugged. He has 6 sisters and 4 brothers. Says he was a vagabond before he got to the home. He was brought to the home by his cousin. He likes to play the hand slapping game and loves to listen and understand.


Isquerda has had a traumatic life. When her father was shot and killed in Port Au Prince, she and her mother were forced out on the streets to beg. Her days consisted of running through heavy traffic, begging for money, while her mother sat in the side of the road begging as well. Moving into Maison de Lumiere was like a dream for Isguerda. She found new joy in her life. She loves school and math is one her favorite subject. One day, she says she wants to get a job where she can travel and see the world.
