A couple of summers ago, we hosted a Haitian widow and her daughter on our homestead for a summer. The little girl had to have life-saving surgery and almost didn't make it once arriving to the States. What an absolute joy to hear from the missionaries that arranged for her trip to the States that she is doing very well!!!!
We were able to see pictures of her and her mother which warmed our hearts! What an experience it was to host these folks. While it was a lot of work, we look back on it with very fond memories. I will not go into the details of this experience here for I blogged about it earlier. I only want to add that it is definitely more blessed to give than to receive. And a homestead is a wonderful, wonderful place to bring folks to who need help and encouragement. While it is tempting for us homestead-types to enjoy the peace of our place ourselves, please pray about an opportunity to serve someone.
When a struggling, hurting person is able to witness the awes of God's creation it brings much perspective.
