11 Days!

Oh my goodness how time has flown by! I am all set to go! I leave on the 24th. I have my flight booked and everything! No turning back now (like I would want to, Ha!) I am so excited to get to run in and hug all o those little kids! I get into Guatemala very early in the morning so I will get to the center as the kids are eating breakfast I believe. That joy I will feel will be overwhelming. Those children and ladies will always hold a huge place in my heart. How will I have room to fit in my own children and family one day?! It's amazing how God gives us the ability to love un endlessly if we choose to give it.

In a prayer that St. Francis wrote he says:
"For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life."

For it is in giving that we receive. That in itself sums up the center, we go to give and in turn are given so many more blessings. 

Also in 1 Peter 3:9 it says "Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing."

God gives us un failing love and un ending blessings so that we may give love and blessings to others.
