Well over a hundred people celebrated Mother’s Day at the Center today. It was a real bash. Besides the wonderful food, happiness, and excitement were the two main attraction. I have to say this was a very, happy day for me. None of my children were here with me, except Chuck, who lives here, but they all called and sent lovely cards. Since I know most of the people attending the dinner today I felt almost like being with my extended family.
We had a great church service today also. A missionary from Kenya was our guest speaker. Our church has supported this missionary on this isolated colony for over 25 years. He told us about some things they had accomplished which was good news, but the hard way they had to work and manage to get there was heartbreaking. This missionary, who is white, lost his wife while laboring in Kenya in 2004. Four years later one of the native Kenya women he worked with caused a spark to flare in his eye and, they were married soon after. The last time he was here he had his new wife with him, but today he just had her picture. She stayed behind to care for their twin boys who were in a boarding school and graduating this year. What a blessing to hear this missionary so full of greatness for all the support the churches has given them. The last project he and his wife started grew from zero Christians to 33, and in a shot time the number is now over 1,000. This makes us want to shout to the housetops. The last time this missionary was with us it was a Sunday when we were having dinner at church. I got to visit with him for quite some time about his daily life in Kenya. Since our president at that time, Barack Obama, had written a book with a lot of his interest focused on Kenya, I had to bring up the subject. I learned that our President was not that well liked in Kenya. At least by a lot of people. Since today was Mother‘s Day I didn‘t tarry to visit with the missionary.
I left church feeling so blessed for all the privileges I share in today living in America; But I must remember we are fighting every day to keep these privileges. I encourage every Christian to brace for a tougher time than we’ve ever know before. Nothing short of God will help us keep our freedom, and most of all our right to put America first. That is in language, Jesus Christ, and the great American flag. Not to be left out is our constitution, and it needs no more amendments to it. It’s been working for us for nearly two hundred and fifty years. Let’s keep it as it is. God has given us a President, and vice President who is doing a great job in restoring respect for America. I urge all true Americans to get behind them and guard them with their own lives.
God Bless
