EACH LIFE AFFECTS ANOTHER'S


We may not always realize that everything we do,
Affects not only or lives, but touches others, too;
For a little bit of thoughtfulness that shows someone you care,
Creates a ray of sunshine, for both of you to share...
Yes, every time you offer someone a helping hand.
Every time you show a friend you care and understand.
Every time you have a kind and gentle word to give;
You help someone find beauty, in this precious life we live.
For happiness brings happiness, and loving ways bring love;
And giving is the treasure, that contentment is made of.

I make friends everywhere I go and they have a place in my heart.

I love going places, it doesn't matter where. But, I think Haiti has an extra special place in my heart.

I can't wait to see what door God opens next.

But no matter where I go I believe Haiti will also be a destination.

I'm applying to go to school for Midwifery in Third World Countries, If you would like to help more information will be in my next blog.

Letter from friends in Thailand

Hello from Thailand, We are the Stubenrauch family in northeast Thailand and we were so blessed by Terri's very timely help! We have six children who were all born in Thailand, ages 11 months-15 years and we have always homeschooled. This past year after a difficult pregnancy and a difficult recovery after birth, I found myself needing HELP with homeschool. There just didn't seem like enough of me to go around. Terri graciously offered to come over to help for a couple of months and really took a load off of me. She is one of the most servant-hearted people I've ever met. She just came into our family and preemptively...helped. I don't know how to explain it other than to say that she just knew what I needed before I asked. If I was juggling two things, she came in and took over one of them. She loved my children so well and was especially a blessing to my 15 and 12 year old daughters who just needed a friend to listen when they talked. She totally took over homeschooling my 4th and 5th grade sons and took the brunt of homeschool pressure off there. We are so thankful and blessed that she gave of her time and energy to come to help us. I pray that many people get behind her in the future and send her back to the mission field, wherever God is calling her. The nations need Terri. Thank you for sending her to us.

Blessings from Thailand, Brian, Mary Beth, Asia, Mercy, Micah, Tyndale, Creed and Davy
