Oh How He loves Them

Since Doug has been laid off for a year I've been picking up the money slack here and there. So, when the opportunity to help bring a group of Chinese students to Lebanon for a 2 week exchange presented itself I thought, that sounds perfect. There were supposed to be 25 kids in the group. I was assigned this group kinda last minute, so I hit the ground running. But my time to find families has fallen over Christmas and New Years. That kinda puts a kink in things. People really just want to relax. Not think of taking Chinese kids home. :) Can't really blame them. So, here we are 3 wks from arrival date and I'm only slightly panicky. Ha
Yesterday I got the profiles of the kids coming. They had each written letters to their prospective host families. After reading several them I had misty eyes and I remembered why I love this type of work. I remembered how great the Love of the Father is. That while we were still sinners Christ Died for Us.
