Voice

A friend gave me money to do something "creative" with the kids this summer.  So, I brought a bunch of music and art things with me.  Included in the list of musical supplies was a little mandolin.  The past couple of days when we go over to the children's home for visits in the afternoons, I've taken the mandolin along.  How these kiddos love music!  It's fun to see them strum along on an instrument that fits their small arms.

I love that the first songs that come to their lips, the first words their voices raise in song are those of praise.  These kiddos who have experienced so many difficulties and have many challenges yet to come are so quick to worship God with their voices!

Today I'm praying that my voice will be lifted in praise - that instead of grumbling or gossip, it will be the greatness of our God that pours from my mouth!  

Much love and thankfulness for you all following along on this summer in Haiti!  Love in Christ, Jessie
