Oh, my! Fall set in real quick here in Romania. I’ve had to turn on the heat! I’m not complaining, really – but we have had rain, rain, and more rain. All through October (and at least half of September), it’s rained for a week or more every day – and then, one day of sunshine – and then more than a week of rain (repeat, repeat . . . ) Here’s where the gratitude comes in, though. All this rain could have been snow! Yikes!!
Robert, Corina and I have made another trip to Ucea de Jos to see Amalia, Khersty, Mihaela – and two other girls. We had a wonderful visit with them. Each time, Amalia, Khersty, and Mihaela are beyond delighted to have us come for a visit. Lord willing, I will make one more trip there this month before returning to Massachusetts.
It’s been fun, too, to make all kinds of yummy snacks for our ‘kids’ – both at Barza Mica and Bradet. They absolutely loved lemon pudding with Hu-la-la (spray cream) on top -– and chocolate-filled croissants were a big hit!
Once again – as we have every Fall for the past many, many years, LFA has managed to buy all the legume (vegetables) for Barza Mica (and now, Bradet, also) – enough to last into Spring! The legume include potatoes, carrots and onions. I trust that all you ‘givers’ know how important you are to these precious ‘broken reeds’ created in the image of our Jesus!
Also, LFA bought ‘tons’ of meds for our ‘littles’ at Ana si Eva! I’ve loved ministering to these precious little ones again – especially to Valentin and Gabriela. They cannot move, are blind, but react when they hear my voice – with Valentin smiling from ear to ear! I adore them . . .
Our men, once again, are on another mission to Ukraine. They are still there even as I write this. They will again distribute ‘tons’ of food and other supplies (largely supported by LFA) and equally as important, spiritual ‘food’. PLEASE pray for our men. They are in grave danger in this war-torn, constantly bombed country. Pray, please for our Ukrainian Brothers and Sisters in Christ – and for those who don’t know Him, to surrender their lives to Him.
Mark 10.45 – “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,” How can we do any less??
– My heart is filled with JOY as I let you know that all my work finally went through with the Romanian government and I now have access to the ‘littles’ case (houses) – AND to two orphanages in Victoria. It took nearly 3 months to get this accomplished, but my heart is filled with…
My church’s theme in Massachusetts is: “Give All For All To Find And Follow Jesus.” That sounds wonderful – and it is, but when that has truly become the theme of your life – I don’t mean to scare anyone – but ‘giving all to find and follow Jesus’ is not always going to be…
Scripture tells us to be thankful in all things, but my July 7 trip/flight from Logan Airport in Boston to Zurich to Bucharesti kind of put that to the test. It wasn’t the worst trip I have ever had, but certainly one of the most difficult. I’m not going into detail here but from the get-go…
As July 7 approaches, I get more and more excited about returning to the ‘other’ land that I love! I have a lot ahead of me – a lot I will have to figure out since much has changed in the orphanage system while I have been in Massachusetts. Pray with me, please, that with God’s…
– Great news! Lord wiling, I will head back to the ‘other’ land that I love on July 7, arriving in Brasov on July 8. My heart sings just thinking about it. – I will be faced with many-a difficult situation particularly locating where some of our precious ‘kids’ have been moved. I do know that I…
Once again, a month (since I wrote April’s Update), has sped by like one week! The following is just some of what Love From Above has encountered: The government continues to move some of our ‘kids’ to orphanages far worse than even Barza Mica. If it is in my power – or rather God’s power…
Happy, Happy Spring!! I hope and pray that Massachusetts has seen the last of snow for 2026!! I look forward to Resurrection Day! What a time of joyous celebration over the death, burial AND resurrection of our King of kings – JESUS! SO much went on last month that concerns Love From Above in Romania –…
As I begin to write this, welcome from Massachusetts, aka the Frozen Tundra. Several times in February I had to use my blow dryer on my back door to be able to get out. I was brought up in this weather in Maine, but never got used to it, or liked it. We learned that…
Where did January go? I was just getting into 2026 this past month when February happened!! News for everyone to know: Usually this time of year I’m writing to ask everyone to pray over my trip back to Romania for the Winter/Spring months. However, the Lord ever so gently and kindly began to lead me…
