Day 17
I want to say thank you to my mum and dad…for having a home that is always open for one more. I love how everyone that I bring home calls my parents “mom and dad.” I love how I can bring over lots of people, and they will be loved and greeted with a “Hey, can I get you anything?” I love how my parents not only encourage my ministry, but embrace it, even opening their home to strangers from Brazil.
I started with the neighborhood kids coming over for a snack. It grew when I began working with an inner city alternative school, and brought over 20 kids to go sledding and have hot chocolate. It continued with Good News Ministry youth center, where my mom would have a Bible study and my dad would order pizza. Those who know me, know my family. That is just how it works.
Thank you. Mom, thank you for keeping all my kids in your prayers all this time. Here is one of my babies, who is not so little anymore. Please continue to pray for him.
