WE DON'T HAVE TO, WE GET TO

There are so many things to get done before we have our monthly food outreach. Getting it all done stresses me out sometimes. Bagging up hundreds of bags of beans and rice and getting them across the border. Going to the store in Mexico and filling several carts with cooking oil, sugar,  flour, juice boxes, and often, gifts for special occasions.  Yesterday was the Day of the Child in Mexico,  Mothers day is a week away and the food outreach all rolled into one glorious event. Over 600 people came yesterday. Pastor Jaime brought all of their musical instruments from his church and we're all set up and praising God by 8am.      The garage sale was going on, people were lining up to sign in. The kids were all sitting up front singing songs, followed by Herb and Carroll Moering ministering to the kids in their clown outfits, preaching the Gospel.  Eliot sells ice cream from his cart every day in the Colonia. He accepted Christ in January when a team from Illinois built him a house. He gave everyone free ice cream yesterday. There was also several people that accepted Christ.  There was a great move of God yesterday as we prayed for the kids with all the Pastor's in attendance. There was no food, or gifts left by 11:00 o'clock. So another great outreach that we didn't have to do,  but we got to do!       After we cleaned up everything,  put away all the chairs,  swept the floors, put everything away,  we went for lunch downtown  and returned to the Colonia just in time to attend Cynthia's Quincinera at Pastor Victor's church and it was hot, hot hot. Paula brought a bag of new hand fans and it was a huge Blessing to all the women.             I pray that all of you that support the ministry feel as much a part of these events as you possibly can without being here because you are!!! You make this all possible and I didn't even share all that went on yesterday,  but there was so much more. GRACIAS FOR BEING THE BEST FOR CHRIST AND HIS CREATION
