Showing God's Love

 

On the first evening of devotions, team leader, Jimmy shared how we should love the Lord our God with all our hearts, our souls and minds.  Only the love of Jesus can help us love one another.  Every one has a job to do in Jesus' family to help get God's work done.  This week this team showed God's love everyday.  They developed numerous relationships they will treasure for a life time.  There were three brothers, Juan Carlo, Jose Antonio and Jose Marte who came daily and shared and showed the team what Jesus was talking about, loving one another. They came each day to help their neighbor get the home he prayed for.  Jesus shared how one of them, Juan Carlo would come along as Jimmy was carrying the mortar in for the floor and take the bucket from him each time.  Jimmy felt blessed by this act of kindness.  Jimmy in turn kept his brothers from Honduras hydrated. Little shy Kevin did not stay shy long.  Teddy became quick buds with Kevin as the week progressed.  Ronnie appreciated the hard work and friendship from the men of the community as well. Of course Laura never meets a stranger. She immediately on day one greets the family as if she has know them her whole life.  Katherine and her friend Danielle spent times together smiling and sharing a little in Spanglish.  Elayne enjoyed Maida and hearing about Maida's family.  It helped Elayne while being away from her own family for the first time on a mission trip.  David blessed others as they him by sharing the gospel where ever he could.  Diane enjoyed sharing God's Word with Jennifer.  How appropriate this was to have Diane watch Jennifer enjoy her new bible.  Thank you Diane for sharing the love of Jesus with Jennifer. Gracie shared her love for Christ by speaking her Spanish whenever she could  As I said God's love was every where this week. Kent enjoyed watching his daughter building relationships with the children. I asked one evening jokingly are you guys building a house or just relationships.  Teddy I believed shared, "No worries Mrs. Ginger the house is getting built too."  What a well balanced week in the name of Jesus.
