I needed a reminder!

As we drove through the streets of Guatemala City I was reminded that there are many people in the world that have it far worse than I do.  All over the world there are people that are far more poor than the poorest of Americans.  We were told that the average construction worker makes about $10 a day.  Its hard to eat lunch or dinner for less than $10.00.

There are thousands of orphans in Guatemala.  Manna is building an orphanage that will house about 65 children at a time.  I was reminded that as Christians we are never orphans.  God is our Heavenly Father and He protects and loves us as His children.

I was reminded that we are so very blessed by God to live in America.  Without the MANNA Feeding Centers many of the children we saw today would not be able to eat regularly.  They were taught about Abraham's faith before they ate lunch today.

We also heard stories today of how God provided for all of the team members in awesome ways. It is so amazing that God plans things out for us months and years ahead of time.

I was reminded that if we commit everything to Him, He will provide our every need.

God bless!
