Generosity in any language

Lately I have been blown away by people's kindness. After living in Rwanda for the past 21 months I didn't know what to expect in the states. Would I be disappointed with Americans and the way we live while we visited from Jan. to April? Not at all.

Yesterday we were at Paradise Bakery and the manager gave us all a free lunch because she felt like we waited to long in line for our food. If she only knew that restaurants in Rwanda take 3 hours to serve food to you. If she only knew that we weren't at all bothered by the wait (we did tell her that).

Today my good friend Don Reddy gives Andria an extra phone he had to use for free! We were given a beautiful house to stay in while in Phoenix. The house is located in picturesque Fountain Hills. From the drive way we have a magnificent view of the Four Peaks and Superstition Mountains. Every day we can relax and feel the beauty of God's creation as we listen to his voice.

Every speaking engagement and luncheon we hear stories of commitment and sacrifice that followers of Jesus are making. Today I listened to leaders at NPBC share how God's Spirit is moving in Phoenix. I certainly am not disappointed but encouraged!
