The blessings of giving and serving

What a total joy to wake up to all of your updates this morning! A million thanks for writing.....It allows us to "walk" this journey with you. Your descriptions of how the African people have sacrificially served you meals and snacks out of the little that they have is so humbling and convicting. The spontaneous and unconditional love they exhibit is such an example for all of us. What a gift for all of you to be able to step out of our materialistic, self centered society of abundance and be immersed in the simplified, unhurried pace of life that the Africans lead. All of you are living out the meaning of Acts 20:35: "It is more blessed to give than to receive." All of us, along with you, are being challenged, motivated, inspired and blessed by your experiences on this trip. We are all praying for each of you continually! God bless you!!!!
Lots of Love,
David and Beth
