Today, dawn brought another soggy, rainy day. But then I got a text from my sister, asking me go out and have lunch with her, and things got brighter. 😁 Today is the birthday of a dear sister in the Lord, and new friend as well, Maranda Mize. We made the drive from Mountain Home to Whispering Woods Grill past Norfork Dam. It’s a quaint little restaurant with good food and friendly service. The drive there is beautiful. The grass is really starting to green up, and the trees have beautiful blossoms in white, pink, purple and yellow.

We had a great time visiting and eating great food. Happy Birthday Maranda! I love you and I’m so thankful for you!

Then tonight at church, Jeff and Brenda Mallory came to preach. They are missionaries to the Philippines. Bro. Mallory has been through several bouts of sickness and a battle with an incurable cancer. God saw them through it all, and they are back in the Philippines doing God's work there. While looking at the pictures he brought, and as he was telling the story of these people, my heart ached for them. So many families living in abject poverty, and so many orphans that are homeless.  But these people having hungry souls, they hunger for God, and He is filling them up.

Seeing them makes me know how blessed I am, and makes me feel so spoiled. God help me find a way to help, even a little.
