I can't even express what is in my heart right now...I am so thankful for YOU!!! You allowed God to use you yesterday to bless the people of Haiti, and now 50 families (!!!) that lost everything in the earthquake will be moving into safe, secure, beautiful new Food for the Poor homes!!!! And these homes are built STRONG to withstand earthquakes and hurricanes (the rainy season and hurricane season are right around the corner). We shared so many stories yesterday: the single mom who WAS going to give birth to her baby in the mud and filth of the camp she has been living in...the young boy who ran into his house when the earthquake happened to find his mom, only to have the house collapse. His mom died, he had his right hand amputated, and now he has a skin disease from the unsanitary conditions in the camp where he and his dad are living. Life is going to change for these two families, and so many more, because of what YOU did yesterday. They are getting a message of HOPE, and God's love, and hearing that people they've never even met care about them and are praying for them. And a special shout out to all the moms (and Steve!) who responded to my mom challenge to build a house for Annalise. We did it together!!!! May God bless you for sacrificing, and for trusting Him with your gift. And btw...if you haven't given yet but want to, look for the FFP link on our homepage.
Well, after five months, my son Dallas is finally interested in our cats! We have helped him pet them before, always moving his hand slowly and saying, "Soft...gentle." However, yesterday he saw Lily saunter by and reached out on his own and GRABBED her fur!!! Thankfully, Lily is mellow, overweight, and moves slowly, so nothing happened, but it made me realize that I now have to watch him every second for things he could grab, pull, or put in his mouth. The babyproofing continues this weekend with covers for sharp corners and toilet lid locks!
Who can we say hi to on the air for you? Let me know at lara@thefish959.com and I'll do my best to give 'em a shout out. And tell us why you love them, too. ;-) Mark and Alicia are visiting from Houston, and having fun exploring Pasadena.
