The Children`s House has to harder and harder to find funds for vital things lately. A few days ago, the BOM team brought food, hygiene products and cleaning products to the Children`s Home. Carrots, onions, beets, cabbage, bananas, lemons, laundry soap and many more. All together almost 1000 kg! Wow! This is amazing blessing!!! Praise God!!!
And you know what??? In honor of very few people, the whole orphanage gathered and made a concert! Oh, my!..
The BOM team asked and pleaded that we did not need all this. We just brought what the children need and that's it! All glory, honor and gratitude only to the alive God!!! He is worthy of honor, praise and worship! The administration said. "No no!! You are our special guests so you have to watch. We are very grateful to you and we do not know how to thank you!"
Children dressed on beautiful embroidered blouses and in gratitude sang and danced...
This all reminded me the place of Scripture.
11. And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
12. And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
13. Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
14. Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
15. And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
16. Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
17. Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
18. And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.
(Acts 14:11-18)
Of course the BOM staff is far from Paul and Barnabas...But this amazing joy and gratitude makes me teary. Tears of joy, humbleness and thanks to God for His mercy and these precious children...Tears of joy for thankful hearts and for the open doors for the Gospel. We often speak about Jesus with staff of the Children`s House. And we thank God for this amazing opportunity!Tears of humility that we are not worthy of so much honor... God, all glory and honor to You, the One and alive God!!!
We are so grateful to those, who blessed and made this possible! Who not only took care of the needs of precious children but brought so much joy and delight to the whole orphanage!Thank you very much for your amazing love and care! May God bless you greatly!!!♥
