Thanksgiving

Beloved,

It is my hope and prayer that you are well as you read this. I would like to thank God for the many things that He is doing among us. We are thrilled as first timers primary school parents, Gabi joined Class One at Logos Christian School while Samara is on her Second year in Kindergarten.

Paul and Liz are getting married soon, the 14th of February to be exact. Foulata, Samuel and Sonia are back in town after spending nearly two months in Mumias. Alice and Henry are preparing to send their daughter, Petra, to Form One and Ernest and Emily are waiting for the arrival of their Number One it is so exciting.

It has been dry lately and as we are all aware the President declared national disaster on the 16th  of this month because of the persistent draught. When I woke up this morning I saw dark clouds a sure sign that we will soon have the rains despite the weatherman's report. In the meantime please be thinking and praying for those people who are affected the most and I was just thinking, if you come across where you can donate food stuff, please do consider forfeiting lunch once or twice a week, share it with someone one in need.

     

 “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.  Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. “If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk,  and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.
 Isaiah 58:6-10
