***************************************
Worlds Apart:
In Christ we are one;
sinners
cleansed by the blood of God’s Son.
Loved
ones and comforts of home may be distant;
but
our needs are all met
by
our God omniscient.
We
are welcomed as family.
Abundant
smiles and hugs
fuel a seamless adjustment
to heat, dirt and bugs.
The
joy of reunion is in the air,
side
by side
we
share meals, laughter and prayer.
Together
we work; we worship; we play;
friendships
grow stronger every day.
Spending
time in God’s Word
sows
encouragement and hope
and
bolsters the faith
that
equips man to cope…
Limited
resources
make
it challenging to see -
or
even to hope, for opportunity.
But
Jesus our Savior always has a plan;
He
shelters his sheep in the palm of His hand.
When
we leave our Santa Maria friends
We
know they are wrapped in God’s love - that never ends.
We
pray that their paths will be bright with His light
Thank you Liz for these moving thoughts, which are so true. God bless our dear friends in Santa Maria. And God bless the ministry team members, whose impact, although not always visible to our human eyes, is profound and enduring in the lives of our dear brothers and sisters in Santa Maria.
