...share your food with the hungry and provide the poor wanderer with shelter--when you see the naked clothe him... Isaiah 58:7
BLESSINGS FOR OBEDIENCE
We invited David Garcia and His Family to come and bless us with a few worship songs on Saturday when we give out food to the colonia, and he also had a message for the people from Deuteronomy 28 about the blessings of God flowing into the lives of those who would obey the Word of God. Loving God and loving your neighbor were the only Commandments we need to follow to receive Gods' blessings. How hard is that? Well, in every day life it's not so easy, but He shared about the little things they could do to exhibit love. Just sharing the water hose from the new water lines, filling your neighbors barrels even if they are not there on the day water is flowing to their house. David use to be the one turning the valves for different areas and it became a real trial for him and his family because people would become angry at Him when water didn't come on their day. Now Omaro has that responsibility and He works very long hours every day helping out. Yesterday George and Bonnie joined us to help give out all the food and juice boxes. Again we rejoiced at what God does to provide for the people in Mexico. As we waited for 9:00 o'clock to give out the food, and as people rummaged thru clothes and shoes we invited anyone who needed prayer to gather in one area, and several came with needs that only God can meet. We gave a double portion of food to all the families that helped dig the trench for the water line this last week. Many volunteers hand dug over a half a mile long trench and installed the water lines, saving us the money for renting a back-hoe. Now we can build tower 2 to get more water to more people. Thanks to all that have been a part of this much needed water project. We know there is blessing for giving a cup of water in the Name of Jesus, can you imagine the blessing for giving a whole well of water?
