19th July Tuesday

Praise the Lord for cool weather today! We were weeding a garden today but the cool weather helped to make the work less tiring. Though the owner didn’t smile much, we could sense his gratitude for our help. It encouraged me that although the work that we were able to accomplish through our two weeks may seem little compared to the amount of work that still needs to be done, the little work that we have done will have made a difference to some of the survivors’ lives. While we were working in the garden, the neighbor next door was holding a funeral for one of the tsunami victims. It was another reminder for me to continue praying for the tsunami survivors to cope with dealing with their losses and for God to heal their hurting hearts and minds.
