How many years does love last?

Loving a baby is not very hard. It is a lot of work caring for one. I have seen many parents come to our gates with their older child saying that they want to leave him or her with us. The parent has reached their end and are ready to throw in the towel. Does love have an end? No it doesn't, but if you walk long enough on a wrong road you will feel lost. 

Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,   doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil;   rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth;   beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 

 Love never faileth...

Lizards and kids!

I have never seen so many different kinds of lizards as there are down here in Mexico. Not all are as cute as this one that was part of some fun for a few boys at the Casa. The lizard was not harmed, but he was used to scare a few girls. 

What a beautiful creature, and very fast as the boys had to work together to catch the little guy. 

Pray for our boys that they will grow up into wonderful men of God! 

Blessings to you and have a great week!

Preparing

Having some nice conversation with my dad in Minnesota and catching a gold finch preparing for the coming colder weather. I miss a snowfall and it is nice to be in Minnesota at the right time to enjoy the snow, then return to Mexico where the weather is much warmer. 

It is amazing seeing these birds prepare as it seems for more difficult times. They were flying back and forth for some time filling themselves then it started to snow and they stopped coming to the feeder. 

I wish that I had that type of wisdom; knowing and preparing. I do often know that something is coming but have not prepared or done the things that should have been done. God tells us things in his word then shows us those principles in his creation so that we should not miss it.

Sunny Day!

On my trip to Minnesota I was able to prove to myself again that it is always a sunny day. We sometimes get caught up on getting down and out when things don't go as we like. This simple reminder shows me too that God is always good even when it does not appear that way.

I will be in Minnesota for 3 weeks visiting family and out believing God for additional support for the work that Irma and I do at Casa de Ninos. Pray for Irma as she will be at Casa de Ninos holding up the fort, and still taking care of our charming baby.

Blessings to you all and have a wonderful day!

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.
