I think I should say the team was blessed by the presence of Maria's smile each day. The first day the team forgot their lunches. Maria insisted they eat with her. She was a lady with genuine southern hospitality. She gave from heart and all she had to whoever needed it. Maria daily fed all the children who were on her property. She fed the ones who were not family too. The team of eight were beyond blessed this week with ample help from the teen-age gentleman and several other men. One day the children got out of control somewhat and here came Maria out the front door of her stick home with a switch. She said a few words and showed the children her switched and every child scattered in many different directions. The atmosphere got calm for a while. She is definitely the matriarch of her corner of the world. It has been such a honor to serve beside Maria and her family this week. So yes Maria received a blessing in a home but the North Americans received so much more by being in her presence. God is good all the time.
For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
