First Letters!

Edgar, Guatemala 1998

In the summer we received word that the boy we sponsored through Compassion International since 1996 was graduating out of the program.  In September we sponsored two new kids!  This past week when we prayed for those precious children, I also began asking the Father if we could receive a letter soon.

And SATURDAY’s mail held not one, but two letters!  What excitement as we opened them over dinner, read the sweet words and looked at the wonderful drawings.

First Letters

Dinner was finished quickly and the girls went right to work in writing replies.  Well, Mae is writing a reply, Chica and Petal Rose broke out the markers, colored pencils and glitter glue and went to work creating some art love.

Writing Back

Exchanging Artwork

We are excited to be starting this sponsorship adventure again.  We’ve seen 3 kids go through the program and grow up already.  I know that this is a wonderful opportunity to share with our 3 girls!

For Today, Tuesday May 4…

Snow and a Grizzly Bear!

Well, we ladies haven’t seen the bear, but Builder Man called this morning to let me know that Mr Grizzly is up and about in our neck of the woods (literally), and to keep our eyes open.

I am thankful the snow and cold will probably keep us in today, as I process that information and get comfortable with it. HA.
