Our daily lunch was soup (with about about 5 beans and a small chunk of pigs skin/fat in it) and "Dirt" Bread. That is what we called it, b/c we would actually find little pieces of dirt/baby rocks in it from the leftover bread being ground down and used again. <BR/><BR/>When we returned from the states, I vividly remember going down the cereal aisle. I simply broke into tears as I was overwhelmed by the hundreds of choices we have in the states. The feeling of waste and excess penetrated my soul. <BR/><BR/>We are truly blessed as a nation. and all of us need an eye-opening experience from time to time.<BR/><BR/>Prayers with you and your precious family in finding a solution for your son's school situation.Day by Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052444167758768268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516845359800195934.post-86629737826148036452008-03-21T08:39:00.000-07:002008-03-21T08:39:00.000-07:00Oh, boy. You lose your keys like I lose my way in ...Oh, boy. You lose your keys like I lose my way in a mall. I'll keep my eye out for a solution for you. LIKE A PURSE!!!<BR/><BR/>Today I went grocery shopping for the first time since reading Red Letters, and everything seemed so frivolous. What decadent lives me lead! Rows upon rows of candy, ready-to-eat products up the wazoo, more food than most Africans will see in their lifetimes. It was eye-opening. I think my life is irrevocably changed. <BR/><BR/>"Father, I come to you in agreement with Heather on behalf of Mark. He needs you to intervene for him at school. I ask that someone within the school system would emerge to be on his side, to speak up for him to the administrators and teachers, to see a good and healthy solution for the issues he faces and to be the voice to speak into this situation for Heather and Mark. Please give the teachers and everyone else involved open ears to what Mark needs and to Heather and her concerns. We know that you are more concerned about Mark than even his parents, and we ask that you would be his shield, that you would take up his cause. We ask that you close the mouth of the enemy who speaks lies into the mind of Mark, to make him feel small and inadequate. We know the truth: that Mark is precious in your sight and of infinite worth. May that truth me nestled down deep in his spirit as these problems at school are resolved. In your holy and powerful name, Amen."<BR/><BR/>Let it be so.<BR/><BR/>ReeseHeather and Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12907263870688097948noreply@blogger.com
