Another Happy Mail Day!

Friday was a really good day. Not only was it the first day of my extra long weekend ( I didn’t have any kids to babysit), we were blessed to receive a letter from Niyomugabo in Rwanda. I’ll share it with you.

He starts with “Beloved Sponsor, Your child Niyomugabo is greeting you in the name of Jesus Christ.  Niyomugabo and family are fine and thank God and believe you are also fine.

Here, we experience a dry season but sometime back, we have been receiving some rain. Those who grow crops, are also happy because they will get a good harvest.

He believe you do not have a problem of earthquake over there. If you have children, greet them.

He came from school, is in holidays and there is no problem and his studies are moving on well. In Rwanda we are in the time of remembering our people who died in the 1994 genocide. Remembering our people ends in July and we wish you a good Easter. We love God and continue to be near Him. We remember that Jesus died and resurrected for sake of our sins.

May God protect, give you strength, give you peace.”

 

It was so exciting to get another letter from him. I have now received letters from both of my correspondent boys, but none from Alejandro, our sponsor boy, yet. I contacted Compassion Canada and their looking into it for me. I hope to hear from him soon. 

Did you receive a letter from your Sponsor child lately? I would love to hear about it!

My favourite room in my house

Anyone who knows me personally can agree when I say that my favourite room in my house is my kitchen.                     Not because it’s fancy, which, it’s not.    Not because it’s clean & tidy, which it most often, is not.  Most definitely not because of the great view out my window, which is my neighbours garage. But because that’s the place where I get to create! That is the place where all the ‘magic’ happens. That’s the place where I go from ‘mom’ to ‘magician’ and I can just let my imagination run free! I LOVE,LOVE, LOVE to bake (this is not an exaggeration).  What I also love, is a baking challenge. I have a few friends with restricted diets and I have had the opportunity to bake for them. I have friends that can’t have sugar or dairy and only certain kinds of flour.  This was quite a challenge for me in the beginning, but I have done a lot o...

Monday’s Thoughts

Have you ever wondered about the history of Compassion International? I know I have. Today, as I was catching up on some blog posts that I’ve missed lately, I came across this video.  I thought it would be good to share with you. Whether you sponsor with Compassion or not, it doesn’t matter. I recommend that you take the 3 minutes and watch this video.   Watch Pastor Everett Swanson in Family | View More Free Videos Online at Veoh.com It’s beautiful to see how despair can turn into hope, just with one man’s dream and the power of God. Will you sponsor a child? If you decide to sponsor a child, feel free to share it with me. I would love to share in your joy!

Some Encouragement...

  What a nice weekend it was! The weather wasn't too bad either. It could have been a bit warmer but this is Manitoba after all. Spring is always unpredictable here!   I also had a chance to go back to the book fair by myself on Saturday. It was such a good time! I spent 45 minutes there and I only looked at one section! I came home with an armful of books and it only cost me 5 bucks! I didn't know this ahead of time but the last day is always half price day. So lucky for me, every book was half price! That makes shopping (especially when your on a budget) a lot more exciting! I was able to find some neat books for my sponsor boys as well. I found a couple on animals, one on hockey (the great Canadian sport), and one on northern Canada. Now, I just need to figure out which book to send to each boy.    I also found some great christian books for my husband and myself. The one that I'm reading now is called " Witness The Passion" by Richard Exley....
