"If you are too lazy to plow in the right season, you will have no food at the harvest." Proverbs 20:4 Sometimes it's hard to teach these kinds of proverbs to our kids, especially if we're not farmers!! But, Daisy and Ally are very fortunate to live right smack dab in the middle of carrot country. Last week the field right below our house was being harvested, and Daisy and Ally got to spend part of their morning learning about hard work. Not only were we grateful for the chance for them to get their hands dirty, but we were thankful for the group they got to work with. Like their Tatay (father) Carlos who worked beside them and kept them going. Or their Apu (grandma) Marisol who let them work in her field even though it would mean extra work for her. Or their Apu Asyung who, when they needed to go home, taught them a valuable lesson on how a child in this culture properly and respectfully says 'goodbye'. Thank you, God, for the opportunities you give us (and our children) to learn and grow!! NEWS FLASH: Did you know that our co-workers and three other national families have started a new missionary work in a neighboring village?? Did you know that on their first day of the Bible teaching 50 people showed up?!! KEEP PRAYING for the Bairds and their new church planting team! Belinda, for the Moffits |
