A safe resting place

Irma and I have this adorable little guy in our home. We were asked by the welfare agency to care for him 11 days after he was found abandoned. Too little to be left at the Casa we took him in. This is not the first time we have had a baby on the spur of the moment,. We have a stash of baby things in our home for these "baby calls". Most likely in the next month or so he will be adopted out, so please pray for God's hand to be on this process.

This image here is what he enjoys, and quite honestly we enjoy it to. He is sprawled out on my wife in this picture, but he has spent many a peaceful moments on my chest as well. I really feel God showed me in one of these "peaceful moments" that this is really what God desires with us. He wants us to find that perfect resting place in Him. God wants us to draw close to Him. Rest in Him listening to God's heart, and feeling the warmth of  His presence.

The big Turkey

Yes that is me in the picture but no I am not the big turkey. A turkey was donated to the Casa and Irma and I got in the kitchen to do a big Saturday dinner for the kids. I never have a chance to be in the pictures so here I am and I did continue working after the picture was taken. We invited several of the girls to help out and we had a fun time in the kitchen. It was a new thing for many of the kids. When I carved the turkey I had a few tasting the turkey helpers. We ate our fill before the meal was even served. We had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, salad, and fruit salad. It was a fun and very tasty meal. God was very good to us that day!


Irma gave us all direction and we got everything ready on time and tasting very good. I did not need a hat because I don't have much hair the girls said. It makes me hungry remembering that day. 

Great blessings to you all and have a wonderful week!
