Tuesday

My babies and I had a wonderful night together. We had one of Alex's favorite meals, nacho and cheese. It was easy, fast and good. After, dinner we cleaned up real fast and Mom, Dad, Maddie, Alex and I got busy peeling and pitting peaches that we had purchased from the peach park on Saturday. We made our first batch of homemade peach jelly.....OH MY!!!! It is sooooooo Delicious. We also, frozen some peaches for a peach cobbler that is in our near future... we are going to be sweet and wait on Luke to get home so he can enjoy it too. He loves peach cobbler. We ended our night with a little shopping trip to Target to finish up Brittnee's school supply list. All of the above was great fun but the coolest part of our night was the moon...it was smiling at us. My sweet precious big hearted Mae said "Mama, it is Jesus smiling at us". Isn't that a warming thought.

As for Luke and the Mexico team, they had a great day again. The boys dorm/extension is almost ready for the roof to go on, so they were excited about that. The kids in the orphanage seemed to be more comfortable with them today so the team was encouraged by that...the men wrestled with some of the kids. Luke, said it is just really sad seeing such sweet kids in the situation they are in. He is just overwhelmed that parents give their kids up all the time there and here in America. However, most of the kids in this orphanage have been taken from their parents due to abuse...it still is really disturbing to him. How can people hurt the precious gift given to them from Our Lord? Steve and Amber the parents of this orphanage has done a wonderful job bringing the children up to know their Lord and Savior. Only one out of 32 orphans is not saved and she asked a lot of questions about becoming Christian lastnight. So we need to pray for her heart to be won by Jesus. Anyway, tonight at VBS they doubled their number of kids attending and they all had a great time. He is doing the recreation part, they played kick ball with them tonight. Gene is cooking them breakfast for dinner, Luke said it was smelling quit good.
