Shattered lives and God's love

Our newest little one comes to us extremely affected by a bad situation. We were asked to help with this little one and her brother for a couple of weeks. We do not have much information about what happened but observing them it is evident that they have suffered some severe abuse. It is so sad to see lives practically destroyed or maybe tossed and treated like an old useless item that is just thown in the corner; stepped on and kicked around. It is so easy to see the importance of those first years of life when one sees how quickly or easily a life is destroyed.
The good news is the power of God's love can break through the hardened hearts and tattered lives. I thank God that we had this chance to love these little ones and allowing them to begin to live, enjoy life, and just be a child.

Last month Irma and I did some Investigation work about one of our girls. The cases sometimes are so complex and sad but this time we were able to learn some important things about the past of this young girl. Just today we went to visit Oliver the little guy that spent a few month in our home. He seems to be doing good but the mother is having some issues where she is at. Pray that all will go well with Oliver and his brothers and sister.

One of our girls spent about a month in the hospital with a severe infection and Pneumonia. It was a very trying time. Someone had to be with her 24 hours so our staff got pretty wore out. Irma and I have her in our home for a week or so until she is completely ready to get back to normal life. Those of you that were aware of this situation and were praying, Thank you.
Irma and I thank all of you that support us. We pray that God will abundantly bless you and keep you in His grace.
God bless and have a wonderful day!

Back in Tepic at Casa de Ninos! The children show that we are an important part in their lives.

That is a big responsibility. They need to have persons in their lives that love them and will be there for them. Irma and I give of ourselves to these children and are there voice here in our welfare system. Many children here have no one, no voice, and feel really abandoned.

Irma and Ana joined Joshua and I down here at the border. Joshua and Irma will be soon going up to California so we are taking advantage of a little more time together driving down to Tepic. We are spending a few days in Weslaco Texas with some friends. The plan is to drive into Mexico tomorrow so please pray for our safety while traveling.

Thanks and have a wonderful day!
