Beanie Baby madness!

The Beanies have been a great success - thank you to all who dontated those cute critters! I feel a bit better by handing out those instead of sweets all the time. While we were staying with the Brooks' (thanks Kate and Johnny again for your hospitality!) we played a game with the Beanies and everyone received one. In Tala I had one little girl who cried when I tried to hand her a Beanie. Then the older kids saw that she was scared of it so they decided to run after her with them and scare her! I hope she eventually got over it so she could play with hers.

Again we were without electricity for a couple of days in which time my computer battery and phone battery both went dead. But that's life in Kenya and it reminds me that all around me people are living without running water or electricity on a daily basis. It makes me think of how we take those items for granted - we expect water to come out of the faucet, we expect the lights to turn on when we throw the switch, we expect the refrigerator to be full when we open it. Everytime I eat here I pray for those who have nothing to eat and ask that I be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's push to help. Please remember those who do not have in your prayer time and perhaps pray for God to show you a way to help.
