Sunday Funday End of January

We love sharing at churches. But we especially love sharing with kids. This morning one of the kids prayed for us that we would have a safe trip home to Ana Sofia's toys in Brazil. Love it. After showing the kids a video clip of the road we travel to get to Living Stones, one of the little girls was shocked and said, "Where is the sidewalk???"
I have gotten upset with the holes and the mud and the general hard travel of Brazil, but have never really stopped to think about sidewalks. The girl was so worried for the children who didn't have sidewalks, and said she would pray for cement for sidewalks for the kids in Brazil. I was trying to suggest that the kids pray for gas for our (missionary and pastor) vehicles...but that darling girl...who knows? One day the kids might have their sidewalks.
I love this story. I've tried to tell it in conversations, and never do it as well as Ann Voskamp
To all the interns and friends and short term mission trippers who come--a beautiful metaphor.
One of my favorite people in the world wrote this. And it hits me beautiful.
Broken bathroom tile. Those words that one person said. Powerfully written. 
A hard read. But a good one. And one to think about for short term missions trips.
So true! What not to say to a new (or any?!) missionary

God bless you this Sunday Funday! And yes, I am late on Ana's 7 month blog, our Illinois vlog, and our family vacation vlog. Also, I have all these good ideas for other blogs and vlogs...on the list:) when cooking and mommying and meetings and paperwork and cleaning get a little caught up. Life is good.
