Day Three - The Farm

Today for our devotions we read Psalm 127. The whole Psalm spoke volumes to us but the verses that jumped out to all of us were verse 1 - Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it... and verse 3 - Children are a gift of the Lord. It is evident that the Lord has built a special place for the wonderful kids here.

Jefferson, now from Ankeny, has been enjoying reconnecting with his home and the kids here.
This morning we visited the farm, a special place just outside the city, where the kids have a chance to run, play and work. The farm brings in a small amount of revenue that helps make ends meet. It was amazing to hear the story about how Lar obtained the farm- it was entirely a miraculous work of the Lord. By faith Pai had fish ponds dug even though there was no water on the land to fill them. The Lord provided water and He continues to provide for the home.
