Not much happening this week other than fixing cars,
story of my life. Seems to me its an never ending story. Just as I thought I
have one car fixed, Toinette tested it out and it broke in town, luckily we
have toe-rope, plenty of it, and now it’s back to basics again. Uggghhh. The
Suzuki is a prayer request, or not,hahahaha Well as long as our bodies do not
break, we are happy. Cars we can fix but our bodies is way to fragile to be
fixed properly.
Had to share in church yesterday, a full sermon,
naaa, a pastor I will never be, that one I made out for me years ago. It was
good to share to the people about how compassionate Jesus was. Speaking
about all the people we helped over these years and all the things that Jesus
had to teach us, gives me a new meaning for compassion. It is good to recall
history once a while just to see how faithful our Father is to us and just to
be reminded to be more compassionate.
Ephesians 5:1-2 Watch what God does, and
then you do it, like children who learn proper behaviour from their parents.
Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of
love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant.
He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of
himself to us. Love like that.
Thank you for praying for Deon. He is still in the
hospital and is doing better by the day,
slowly but surely. Please keep him in your prayers as he seeks recovery.
Marla is back home and thanks all for their prayers.
She is doing much better.
I am SO humbled with the numbers of
messages from you all, but even more by the numbers of people who have been
praying for me! I am sorry if I haven’t responded to you please know I am
actually still reading through it all. But I am now “HOME”! Here is a before
picture just prior to surgery and today here at home.
I still have swelling and some pain, but
I am able to get up and walk. It amazing how 13 hours of anesthesia messes with
you. I’m fairly loopy still. 🤪. Anyway, God has been my amazing rock
who has done so much more than I could have asked or imagined. Through all of
you I can see and feel how wide and long and high and deep Christ’s love is!
Thanks!
Continue to pray for Fe and her family. She shared
that going back home is not real home anymore. They are in culture shock. Pray
for work for them in order to live there. She will go for more chemo soon.
Mike Capka is back home and still recovering.
Hello everyone Mike is out of the
hospital already. Thank you again to all
our family and friends all over the world praying for him, for all the support
and all the encouragement! Thank you to his brother Matt and their friends who
helped Mike to saved his life. Once again thank you very much! We’re on our way
home
Please pray for Mordegai’s mum, Matra. She is back
in the hospital due to bleeding in her nose. Talk to my sister and mum received
some blood and everything looks fine. Praise God for saving my mum once again.
Please pray for my little sister as she need to handle all of this and its
really draining her. Pray for mind and body to be willing to help my mum. I am
so blessed with a sister and brothers that cares for my mum.
Pray for me as I will be on the road again tomorrow
to go to the bush. Pray for the truck to behave as well as the other drivers on
the road to behave as well. Pray for our bodies that will take all the
hammering again on the bikes into the jungle.
Leave you with this thought. We are reading some
really good stuff with the boys and its good for me as well.
We were created for a purpose--to follow
God’s example and walk in the way of love as sons and daughters of God. As we
walk in this way, God grows us in wisdom. Just like children who start out
making a lot of mistakes, we will fumble and fail, but as we stick by Him, He
tunes our minds and spirits to His very own. As we learn more of how God works,
we learn how to do our work in His strength. His strength endures the hardest
times and produces joy and thanksgiving. When we allow Him to work through us,
we have new eyes to see His beautiful Kingdom and to love deeper. Saint
Augustine once said, “a Christian is: a mind through which Christ thinks, a
heart through which Christ loves, a voice through which Christ speaks, and a
hand through which Christ helps.” When we trust God, we allow His
Spirit to think, love, speak, and help through us. And as Christians, that’s
where we learn who we really are. We learn as a child learns, day after day
with our loving Father.
Thank you once again for praying for us as well as
for our friends.
Love
