Life changing....

My letter from home this morning said, "you are being blessed"  I sure am.....

We came to show God's love and we are getting His love through the wonderful people of Moldova in return.

Upon arriving we felt like we had to do more.....we come for a week and leave?

We shared how we felt with Ian, a volunteer from the Village of Sofia, last night at dinner. While we visited homes with food bags yesterday I thought, what a stellar guy, not knowing his story.  He explained how a life can be changed by just a smile or a good deed.  He was abandoned at 16 by both parents and it was caring people who came to his village who changed his life. He glowed with love and determination. Life changing.....

I woke up yesterday, my birthday, to decorations and a card signed by my new family.  A woman giving me her chocolate for a birthday present. Speechless.....Love in action

Our translators.....patient, compassionate and talented. Our new friends, I cannot say enough about these great people!

Asking people if I can pray with them and then they turn around and want to pray for me.

Visiting people's homes and seeing the thankful look on their faces, hearing their stories, seeing the conditions they are living in and yet still smiling......

How many times have I wanted more when all I had is what I've needed?  Do I really need all I have? Love is all we need. Thank you God for continually reminding me that love is not found in things or acceptance. It's found in giving, a choice, an action.

I pray that all who read this experience the love He has for you and share it with others. Life changing love...
