One Step at a Time: Thank You, God, Your Blessings Abound!

We had an amazing trip to Uganda! It is such a blessing to be there for us. We were able to visit our Ugandan family, and spend special times with them. There are ministries we love to check on, and much of our time was spent reconnecting with these. Generosity of friends in the US, enabled us to take baby clothes and blankets to the "Neonatal Intensive Care Unit" at a hospital in Jinja. Because of "Miss Merle's sewing ministry" we spread "pillowcase" dresses everywhere we went--75 dresses! The little girls' smiles were PRICELESS! We visited special Habiba and were able to go with her to enroll in cosmetology school. We were able to meet grandchildren that we had heard so much about, but who had always been in boarding school when we have visited. We checked on a young man who has struggled with a virus that attacks and destroys the bone. Surgery is required to clean out the decay, and then the leg is allowed to heal. He was doing much better! It was good to visit the children at Mashah Orphanage and Jennifer's Orphanage. What precious children with beautiful smiles, and loving, caring, personalities! Sunday, we were able to go to two churches! Such a blessing to teach a lesson to the children in Mathias' and Steven's churches. The teachers are doing an amazing job growing these children in God's Word, and discipling them! We always look forward to seeing Elizabeth, the oldest member of Mathias' church! What a blessing she is each-and-every-time! We spent time at "River Bend Resort," where the group from Oakwood will stay this summer. Wow! It's beautiful, and the food is delicious! Mathias, Frances, Marjorie, and Angela took such good care of us! It is always a highlight of our trip to be able to stay in their home. The hospitality and special times spent with them is such a blessing! Visiting with Joseph, Faith, Steven, and Vickie was wonderful--AND all the grandchildren! Our cup runneth over! Each day, as we awaken, the blessings just come--God is so very good--One-Step-At-A-Time!
