"Now to Him...
... who can keep you on your feet, standing tall in His bright presence, fresh and celebrating -" Jude 24 The Message
Our Master certainly kept us on our feet today! I met my friend this morning at her hotel and had my first non-Chinese breakfast in 10 days. It was quite continental: British cold baked beans, French croissants, Swedish museli, German sausage and good ole American scrambled eggs!
My friend H arrived to take us to shop for the orphanage. She already arranged the "big" purchase of new water heaters to enable the children to have hot baths (without having to heat water over the stove). Today we bought new shoes for each child, warm winter socks, and educational toys for the toddlers. The three of us then returned to stuff Christmas gift sacks and pack everything we will need to take tomorrow.
It will be jammed packed. First heading out to the orphanage - then immediately after returning we will be picked up from the hotel and go to the campus performing for close to 200 University students. Our day will finish late in the evening. But oh what a day.
Pray for joy and happiness for the orphans. The director told H, "I can offer you nothing for such a great gift but I will pray for you and your families".
Pray for the students who are taking time away from their end of the year exam studies to learn a lesson that will change their lives.
Pray for questions that will open the door (and their hearts) to the Good News!
Pray for us to "stay on our feet in His bright presence". Pray His radiance to shine shine shine.
Pray for our health (snow in the forecast). Pray for safety on the roads.
"God can do anything, you know - far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!" Ephesians 3:20 The Message
Dreaming and imaging His abundant provision!
