A project week would not be complete without a cold coke break daily. These guys had a cold coke in a bag daily morning and afternoon. But on the last day prior to the home dedication we had the famous chicken soup. The fourth day of the project Ginger had a huge God moment. I Ginger was sitting under my shade tree chilling when two men drove up on a motorcycle with a rooster under one of their arms. This is not anything unusual here in Honduras. They dropped off the rooster, a live and well and very huge. About thirty minutes later Mr. Estrada headed off down the path with the rooster under his arm pit and gave me the biggest smile and said, "Delicisos manana" Delicious tomorrow was the translation. I thought ok we are having a pot of chicken soup compliments of Mr. Rooster here. But the joy on Mr. Estrada's face with that rooster under his armpit was priceless. These words I am typing do not even do justice to what I experienced at that moment. God blessed us all with a big hot cup of chicken soup and the funniest part is I got the biggest piece of chicken. I got Mr. Rooster chest, poor Yobani only got a leg and I think Mike got the other leg. There were lids on the cups of soup so we did not know what we were getting until we took the lid off the cups. Mr. Estrada humbly asked did we need a coke with our lunch. We said no we were all just fine with this fine cup of chicken soup. If you are wondering what the big deal is about this cup of chicken soup and Mr. Rooster under Mr. Estrada's armpit going down the path, please come next year and experience for yourself the pure joy in these two events. Only your personal experience can explain this.
"Until now you have not ask nothing in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." John 16:24
Ask God for this joy today in whatever circumstance you are in. Joy in Christ Jesus is more than any words can describe.
