FINALLY, I had the opportunity to meet all the precious five little girls now living at Dayspring. David and I went over on Thursday evening for a pizza party. Last spring, David had the privilege to meet them and now I know them.
Olga is a great mom to these girls. We are so impressed with what we see - Costa, her husband is a fun-loving dad we can tell.
We gathered around the big table for pizza and my mind went to the day that Lynn and Ruby went furniture shopping for that table - envisioning just what we were experiencing that night. FAMILY. A little later a couple of them ran and got their school work for us to look at and their grades are amazing. Again, they experienced FAMILY for that is what families do.
The evening would not have been complete without a guided tour to their rooms upstairs to the FAMILY room and bedrooms. I looked at the little decorated school desks and saw the couch and chairs and remembered the day that Lynn did a "sitting" test in a furniture story in Tokmok. As I looked in I saw the beds covered with beautiful quilts made by a friend in Lebanon and remember the day our team came to clean Daypring getting it ready for children to experience FAMILY.
This is a short video we showed probably 18 months ago....the LAMb team getting the house ready and now it is reality. It has taken persistence and commitment as Lynn and Ruby and the LAMb team have, through God's empowerment, built this wonderful home called Dayspring.
Watch for some news regarding a new project - the Jeremiah House. The vision is for a home for those children who age out of the orphanages at 16.
