Grace Children's Home Turns 6 !
It was in March of 2005 that we welcomed those first little ones who came through our gate. They looked so scared, helpless and sweet. We will never forget that moment.
Now 6 years later, we look back and see how much the Lord has done in a relatively short amount of time! We have 2 VERY busy homes full of children and youth... yes, several of our kids are adolescents and pre-adolescents (that's a whole other blog post!). They are working hard in school and are growing spiritually, emotionally and physically.
We have a wonderful education/ dorms building used to bless, host, teach, train, pray, etc, etc. Our baby home is speeding along in it's construction. We have a wonderful team of people that serve here from Mexico, the US and Canada. We also remember all the generous donors the Lord has brought to us over the past 6 years so that we can continue to provide for the needs of the children.
But there are 2 things that particularly stand out in my mind of what God has done over the last 6 years...
1. He continues to heal our children from the wounds of their pasts to the point that they are just awesome kids!, and 2. He has made us a family! Our relationship with the children and them with us is deep, and we have a strong commitment to one another as an extended family. Everyday we look forward to when they come home from school so that we can feel their hugs... it's a priceless gift!
Six years is really just the beginning... I wonder what God will do in the next six years!
