What makes a w**d a w**d and a flower a flower? Just the simple fact that the w**d is not wanted and is considered a pest… yet all w**ds are flowers too. When God looks upon us He only sees the beauty that is with in each one of us. To Him we are all flowers, but God does give a warning!
You can find it in Matthew 13:24-43.

The other day I came into the kitchen around supper time and found this little one crying. She and her sister love their dad and had tried to call him but were unable to get ahold of him. It was to much.
For me, being a man it makes it a bit more difficult to connect with the girls. It takes some time to win their trust… which is perfectly ok. Some of these little ones have seen, or been through things that they should never had to.
So as I saw her sitting on the chair sobbing quietly I just reached down and picked her up wrapping my arms around her and taking her away from the rest of the kids sitting at the tables. I found a bench and sat down with her still wrapped up in my arms and I began to rock her and hum. She then quickly went from a guarded position to a full on bear hug trying to out do me! It was just what she needed. To feel safe and loved, and now if ever she sees me she runs full tilt for a bear hug of which she seems to never tire of trying to out squeeze me. 😊. No worries she still loves her real daddy but she knows that we love her too.

Shortly after arriving here to Sukhothai Thailand we took these two brother and sister under our wings… needless to say we weren’t quite prepared for the trial before us. You see these two siblings came from the streets of Bangkok Thailand and we soon discovered what that entailed. And during the first couple months we pretty much knew we did not want any more kids! But through the whole process God gave us the ability to love these two kiddos with a love that they needed and we were able to share with them about God as well. Needless to say these two street kids are no longer the same kids that first came to us. God has worked on and in them in ways that are just mind-blowing now that we look back and think about it. And it is because of the transformation that God has done for these two that we are able to smile and keep pushing forward, trusting in God to continue working in the lives of each and every child that has come to Ban Ta Yim. Heaven knows that it is none of our own doing! God has something big in store for these two as well as the other children in our home, in furthering the work of His Gospel.

Happy Sabbath everyone! Pictured is all 22 Thai kids with our 5 American kids. Missing 3 of our eldest American kids to complete the set though. In case your not able to see the lettering that the kids are holding, it says:
WE ARE BAN TA YIM. ( the name of our children’s home.

Recently received 4 bicycles that friends of ours donated, and we were able to repair a few other bikes as well. All of which have made some very happy children, though we now have more of a hard time keeping up with them!…😂. Zoom zoom zoom!

Exhausted and tired doesn’t quiet describe how we all feel at the moment. We have survived the first week of having 22 Thai children in our care, not to mention that it has been the hottest week of the year so far! But God is good! This evening as I take my turn sleeping in the dorm with the new boys, I hear them singing a scripture song that they have just been learning… Psalms 127:1-2. And it is a good reminder that this is what we are hear for… to love these children in a way that teaches them about the love that God has for each of them.

Ever watched honey bees? How they go from flower to flower drinking nectar to take back to the hive, yet helping the flowers pollenate. They don’t take without giving back. But the bee does not take the nectar for itself. It is for the hive to share and grow on. There’s a lot to think about here on how we can apply this into our own lives! No wonder God gave us nature in which we could learn more deeply the things that are of God and His wonderful character.

God has really blessed us with not only beautiful children but beautiful flowers that also are a reminder of Him. Our Creator. Happy Sabbath every one.

“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Happy Sabbath 😃.

In this video, we talk about what can happen with little ones in the long-term foreign mission field. Is it fair to them or would it be better to wait to go ...

So I have been struggling with the concept of story telling through video and photography as well. How does one really creat a story with a still shot? And how on earth do you keep things flowing in a video as to tell the story? The answer: study and practice what you learn! Then go back and study some more and you will learn more things that can be practiced. It is very much like our Christian walk and studying Gods word… practice what you learn and study some more…

Now I want to see what story you all see in this photo?

This past week I got to take some of our staff to Chiangmai. We went to attend an event at the LFA (Love For Asia) office.

But what I really want to tell you about is the miracle that happened. You see it is the end of the month and we did not have the funds to make the trip not even if I went on my own. But Kase and decided that the staff needed to go and that we would just step out in faith. The next morning God provided enough money to cover the cost of the trip!

We serve an amazing God do we not?

I truly believe that this world is fast coming to an end and we shall soon see our Redeemer and Savior coming in the clouds of glory…

Yet just before this happens, we will see a time of trials and tribulations. And those that have fully committed themselves to God will be as Elija…

Now is the time to choose to follow God and keep all His commandments.
