"You Make Beautiful Things"

I knew that God made beautiful things, but I never thought that I would see that through malnourished children, half-finished, one-room houses that are lined wall to wall, and 5:30am walks. Each of the children I have encountered have been over-joyed to see us! They love all the attention that we are giving them and are excited to have people to play with. On the way to the malnutrition center are these unfinished houses that are lined up the mountain. They're not much compared to our homes in America, but these people are so happy and so thankful for what they do have. In the mornings we get a group together to walk around Antigua. Sure, waking up isn't always the easiest, but we get to see a considerable amount of the city. Its a nice way to interact with some of the people here as well as get a glimpse of what God has made Himself.

  1. Yes we should be thankful for the little things. It makes it more of an awe moment when something just a little bit bigger happens or comes our way.The biggest of things are not always what they seem. I'm glad the kids are so happy to see you all again.I know you guys will all be blessed from this trip again.
