Monday, Monday ....

Today's highlight for me was our visit to a Verbo church ministry that serves about 400 meals each day to the children in this area.  I had the incredible privilege of dishing up rice into the bowls and plates that the children brought with them for this simple, but much appreciated, meal.  "Bowls and plates"didn't always accurately describe what I was handed to dish the rice into.  Many times it was a re-used large margarine container.  One was a Frisbee.  The one that almost made me cry was the plastic top of a pencil box.  Another plate had a broken section that left a small wedge-shaped void in the plate, but that's all this little one had to get her food.  But they are still SO full of energy and joy! We have so much, and today was a great reminder to me that we live in a land of plenty and that I need to be an exceptional steward of what God has given to me to serve His kingdom - and not to make me more comfortable. 

I'm including photos of the campus here, some of the surrounding neighborhoods (including some bulls on the street), our preparation session this morning, and then the time we spent with these beautiful kids.
