| Morning ride to church at 6:00 A.M. |

| We spent our day visiting 5 elders that Healing Haiti supports. This is Marie. She is 103 and has a LOT of spunk. Her favorite part of our visit was that her "kids" (9 of the kids from Grace Village) came to see her. |
 |
| This is Edmond. He was our first stop of the day. He is blind and hard of hearing. We were able to provide him with sandwiches and applesauce. We rubbed lotion on his back and arms, sang songs and prayed with him. |

| Lovena painting Marie's fingernails bright pink with glitter! The bright pink and sparkles definitely matched Marie's personality. |
 |
| This is Meme. He is in his 70's. He thoroughly enjoyed his applesauce. Not long after we'd been visiting him, he told us that he was satisfied. We were able to give him a meal and provide him comfort by rubbing lotion on his back, legs and arms. |
Last night I was moved by the images captured in these pictures. What struck me was a feeling of thanksgiving for the virtues of faith hope and love that you ladies are sharing in Haiti. Marie's smile proved that she felt those virtues shining through, just like they warmed me from 2200 miles away.
ReplyDeleteThis passage seems just right for Grandfriends Day:
"We thank God always for all of you as we mention you constantly in our prayers, because we recall in the presence of our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ."
1 Thessalonians 1: (2-3)
Grace and peace to you!
