Lonely in Families

Have you ever wondered if what you are doing is good and right? We have so many people that think we are crazy. But today I was watching Brian play with Fred and all was well with my soul. Even now I look over at Mary who is listening to classical music, resting on the couch. Javonta, who is singing the theme song to "Scooby Doo" and doing long division. So many people look at us and wonder, "what are you doing?" My answer: ask God, He has set the lonely in families and here we are in Africa living as a family.

Some missionaries come to Africa to endure great suffering. I think we have been sent here to relieve great suffering. Lol. All of us in some way have been rejected or bruised and here we are loving each other and others well. Feeding the hungry. Maybe tomorrow God will call us to suffer and when that tomorrow comes we will suffer together. As a family.
