TRULY THANKFUL FOR ALL GOD DOES

    This week gave us the opportunity to be so thankful to God for giving us praying friends and family . I was experiencing some chest pain, different from other times. I was heading to Mexico when the Holy Spirit prompted me to turn around and go home and have Paula take me to her cardiologist . They couldn't get me in and told us to go to the hospital . 11 hours of uncertainty and a series of testing gave us the news that there was absolutely nothing wrong!!!! All the tests were negative . So the question is? Was I in the midst of a heart attack and God heard and answered all the prayers, or did God protect me from something? Either way, we're giving thanks to God for His Goodness.
   Back to Mexico first thing Tuesday building shelves for the Melody Orphanage bunkbeds, and an island cabinet for the kitchen. The Johnsons drove down from Oklahoma Tuesday night and spent the day helping in Mexico .  They were here a couple months ago and wanted to bring the family back again.
   We finished the shelves and delivered them to the Orphanage at the same time the bunkbeds were delivered . We're getting so close to the opportunity to serve some children .
    The Johnsons went to Progresso this morning and we all went to the Mathews house for Thanksgiving dinner . Tomorrow, back to Mexico to buy mattresses for the bunkbeds and check on a couple foundations getting built for the teams coming in January .
   WE TRUST YOU FOUND SOMETHING TO GIVE THANKS FOR TODAY, I KNOW WE DID, AND WE'RE THANKFUL FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT .

THANKSGIVING SHOULD BE MADE EVERY DAY

  "Give thanks in all circumstances , for this is God's will for our lives . Yesterday Paula's sewing class celebrated Thanksgiving , even though, Mexico doesn't celebrate our Thanksgiving . Paula always like to bless the ladies with special times. Yesterday was no exception . Paula made a 25lb turkey , a ham, all the trimmings and then invited about 50 people to come and give thanks for the great things God has done, is doing and will continue to do .
   Sergio, Eleazar and Andreas helped me built shelves for the bunk beds we bought the other day for Melody Orphanage . We built 5 to start with, and now we're going to build two 8 foot cabinets for the kitchen.
    Have a great weekend and give thanks!

WELL, THE FIRST AND LAST TRUMP WILL SOUND, EVENTUALLY

    I  believe that America won on Tuesday . The spiritual fabric in our country has been declining for decades. The Revolution to "DRAIN THE SWAMP " has begun and the liberals of this nation don't like it one bit, and a lot of Republicans as well. Oh well, get over it!
   The Bible clearly states, that there will be a one world government , one religious system , one currency , and the " Beast " will make war against the Saints and Israel . There will be a few nations that don't join the World System  and I believe we are now going to stand with Israel and be a blessed and protected nation .
    All the concrete is done at the Community Center , a what a difference it makes. Melody Orphanage is coming along nicely and the other day we bought many of the appliances needed for the kitchen . A commercial stove, two refrigerators , and a  freezer. Mark and Hans are here from Chicago and  they are really impressed by the progress of the work. We took them and Jaimes family to Big Heart Orphanage in Reynosa to see what a wonderful facility they have there, and get a few ideas for Melody . Pray for all the paperwork to get done, so we can open by Christmas .

TODAY IS THE LAST LOAD OF CONCRETE

    All last week , we formed off section by section of the outside porch of the Community center, and started pouring fiber glass reinforced concrete. It is going to make such a nice addition to the area. no more dirt, dust and mud after a hard rain. NAfter this project, I need to fix my roof in Texas .

GOD'S PROVISION, MAN'S OBEDIENCE

   While we wait for this year's harvest of pinto beans from Warner Farms in South Dakota, our warehouse was getting empty. The demand for food is ever increasing .  I made a call to Ken in the Chicago area . Ken is always buying beans and feeding the poor around the world, and has donated truck loads of beans to our ministry over the years. Ken said he had two truck loads of beans we could buy. Rick Caywood Ministry as a generous supporters that would pay for the beans and the transportation to pick them up and deliver them to us. Travis Caywood drove to Chicago from Waco TX picked up the beans ,unloaded half in thier warehouse in Waco, filled the trailer with donated Rice and delivered it here on Sunday. It filled the warehouse and we are excited to be able to meet the needs of the poor in Mexico and Texas . All the generously donated food is because some people CHOOSE to obey God's command to feed the poor.
    we are finally pouring a concrete floor under the porch of the community center . Thanks to Sergio and a few of the guys in the colonia. We had our monthly food outreach Saturday and 150 families came to Worship the Lord, hear the word of the Lord, and receive free  food from the Lord. we had the privilege of praying with several people that needed a touch from the Lord.
   Melody Orphanage is coming along, the tile floors are almost done. Next project, buying all the appliances or the kitchen .
