Anyway, the real reason I wanted to post this morning was to that I wanted to share this verse that I read, that really is a great summation of the meditation of my heart and vision while I am here in Uganda:
1 Peter 4:8-11
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Amen and Amen.
Big day of shopping today. Gotta go into the market and get some skirts, and then around 2:00pm (I say around because Ugandans have no real concept of time), a girl from the church named Diana is coming over and I think we are going to go get some dinner. She always calls me "baby" and I haven't quite figured that out yet. Maybe I'll ask her today.
Love and Peace to you all.
Hi Kate! You have me in tears ... happy tears about your experience so far! I can just imagine how wonderful it was to visit the orphange. You know me ... I would probably adopt again if I was there. :)We will pray for your tooth and other requests.
