Glad to hear that you’re feeling somewhat bet...Rie,<br />Glad to hear that you’re feeling somewhat better now. I’ve continued to pray for your healing. I have a friend about to go through something similar in a few weeks. <br /><br />I know the ‘fighting envy’ feeling. Every year in the past when our short-term missions people would return home I would wish I could go sometimes. But this was the first year that it really felt right to do it, and all the circumstances lined up (so to speak…with my daughter getting married on Saturday, it’s made for a crammed-packed summer).<br /><br />But I think one of the lessons from the trip is that whether here or there, we are always surrounded by people who need to see the love of Jesus. And like you said, we just do it in whatever way we can. I know you show it to those in your circle. You’ve shown love to me!Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-62225103860041963982011-08-02T16:41:37.663-05:002011-08-02T16:41:37.663-05:00Lisa, I'm just catching up.

I know it changed your life forever and I can see from the faces of the people there that Jesus - through you - brought them joy and changed them.<br /><br />Just show love in whatever way you can. Thank you for that reminder.justcallmeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12212341516089506184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-46120249050204782422011-07-29T08:20:42.066-05:002011-07-29T08:20:42.066-05:00Connie,

...What a sweet gift. I wonder if it had been hers?<br /><br />This is reminding me of something I heard somewhere -- seems like maybe Elisabeth Elliot or Amy Carmichael, I can't remember -- writing about giving to God what we have and trusting Him to multiply it as the loaves and fishes and make it enough.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-84336215216088384902011-07-27T15:14:39.271-05:002011-07-27T15:14:39.271-05:00Isn’t God wonderful?

I’ve never understood how that works. One of his miracles to be sure. <br /><br />I don’t know how long the memory of a lady from the United States will stay with Mireya, but I know the memory of Mireya will stay with me for a very long time.Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-53115250837373113052011-07-27T14:57:52.622-05:002011-07-27T14:57:52.622-05:00It is amazing how God gives back to us when we giv...It is amazing how God gives back to us when we give.
