For the last several years, we had taken our annual sabbatical in July, to visit family, friends, churches and to get a little break from the summer heat in Texas and Mexico. We had celebrated the fourth of July with the Wells', Shongs and Elizandos at the Elizandos annual fourth of July picnic and awesome fireworks display. Well this year we will miss the party and miss our friends as well and will spend the day over in Mexico because today many of the children you sponsor for school are graduating, and we want to be there.
I planned on going to Mexico early this morning to put the metal roofing on the Community Center, but we slept in, so we texted Carmelo and asked to wait to put the roof on until next week. Well any of you that know Carmelo, know that he loves to serve and said that they already had it half done by the time we contacted him. I can't wait to see and experience the cool shade that this will supply for our outreaches. I wanted to wait because my old legs and knees are hurting from building the porch the last few days, but a brother came for rice and beans last night and we prayed for strength and healing for all of us in ministry, that are getting a little old and this stinking flesh gets weary and aches and pains fill our joints. I feel great today and the knees don't hurt, and Paulas' pain in her back is better as well.
In closing, HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY to all and don't forget to remember those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and independence. The best and really all sufficient sacrifice was Jesus Christ and the freedom He gives is much more liberating, so PRAISE HIM!!!!
