This is the Day that the Lord has Made

We are always told to rejoice and be glad each and every day.  Some days are easier than others.  Today, we were so blessed because we met with three different people who wanted to donated amazing things to our ministry!  First, one organization was excited to hear about the community outreach that we do and was sure they could help us feed the children in the Platanillo community by purchasing beans, rice, eggs, juice, etc. on a weekly basis.  All the details are still in the works but what a great connection!  Second, we met with a new friend who just recently moved here with her family.  Her husband's business searched for one charity organization in the country to work with and they picked us!!!!!!  They are from the States and are interested in getting really involved with us by doing many projects and activities with the kids.  Today, they helped us improve our recycling program by replacing our homemade bins (which only made it look like we had more trash we weren't throwing out) with 5 new color coded matching containers that make a load of difference!  It was something we needed to do but was never in the budget.  Another American visitor who was a former special needs physical education teacher, came to visit his old friend Tonio.  Robert is great with kids and loves to invent fun physical activities.  He came this afternoon to build a stationary bike that powers a race track with cars and cables for Tonio to practice walking.  We were really blown out of the water by all of these blessings all at once.  Being a part of something special and watching others on the outside do amazing things to be a part of it as well just confirms that God works out all things for good and that he uses His people to get the work done, people of all sorts, shapes, sizes, talents and giftings, He just puts it all together into a beautiful web of giving and receiving that glorifies who He is.  I'm so glad that He chose us to receive these wonderful blessings today!
