Quiet Tuesday



Good Tuesday evening
The last two days have been spent inside, sorting clothes, separating it for different orphanages or villages or families. It is really quite a challenge.
Flora and Luba, Flora's niece took care of sorting out the clothing in the living room, while I took care of the "storage room" with the overflowing shelves.
Several boxes were packed and delivered to two baby orphanages here in Lviv. Another three boxes of clothing were delivered to Viliky Lubin along with some school supplies. There are boxes of clothing ready for the gypsy groups as well as some boxes of adult clothing for workers in the different homes we visit. The salary of these workers is often very low so they appreciate the clothing they can get.
We received a nice gift from Timothy Sloan and the Christians in Lutsk. We were given approximately 130 "shoe boxes" packed by some of the Christians in Ireland. There will be some happy children receiving these boxes filled with a variety of items. They are packed according to age groups. Timothy brought Anatoly along with him as well as three young Christians from Lutsk and treated them to McDonalds. Those poor people in Lutsk don't have a McDonald's! Ronald was there for a visit also! The place was packed with many young children with their parents. Looks like Ronald has a following here in Ukraine as well as in Canada.
Thank God there is One who has followers here in Ukraine as well as in many other places around the world. Even as I am writing this I can think of many people we know who are all over the world trusting in God who sees & hears them no matter where....Alice Turner in Zambia, Alan and Diana Clark in El Salvador, Mitch & Lori Parent leaving for Nicaragua, David Alves & family in Mexico, David & Ruth Rodgers in Chile, Murray & Martha Pratt in Beachburg, Elton & Ruth Fairfield in Japan....there are many others. But I would not want to forget those we know who work diligently with children in Sunday School classes right at home. We know many devoted Christians who are so faithful to this work. May God bless & give grace to all to continue till He comes.
