Love Has no Value Unless... Becky C.

So, the hardest part of my day today was making balls of dirt about the size of a basketball out of the mud from the ground. Today we helped mud a house for one of the widows in the village outside of Tenwek. The experience was more than amazing! There is something to be said about being in your bare feet and using you hands to help build a home that people will live in. It is quite a process that I never believed I would be able to take part in. This is one of the many things we have experienced here in Kenya. There is so much I still need to digest about the trip. So many things that stick out in my mind but, one thing that I keep coming back to is a sign in Pastor David's home....it says LOVE HAS NO VALUE UNLESS IT IS SHARED.

I keep coming back to that thought. It's amazing how most of our lives we spend so much time looking for love yet, we are so hesitant to give it away. I wonder if we all spent more time giving love away how would the world change and even more how would we change. Pastor David is an example of a man more than willing to give it away, a man who prays and depends on god to make it. He has opened his home, given his resources, and been a role model to thirty eight kids who have nothing. They are blessed because of him, we have been blessed because of them, and God will surely bless him.
