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??
I trust that you all had a most Blessed and Merry Christmas. The angels rejoiced at the announcement of our Jesus’ birth. I know that we rejoice, too, not just once a year, but all through the year that God sent His only Son for us. – I praise God for a safe and uneventful…
I’m back in the States – Norton, MA to be exact. Oh, how difficult it was to leave my precious babies at Albina, and ‘kids’ at Barza Mica. The little ones at Albina love having Corina and me with them but are really clueless at my coming and going. However, my having to leave is…
October was a busy month! Thanks to you (and most of all to our Almighty God), we are using the ‘outdoor’ kitchen at Barza Mica. It needs some finishing touches, but is totally operational. This kitchen makes it safer for our precious ‘kids’. BTW, the food is amazing – the cooks are just the best,…
So many blessings in September: – LFA was blessed once again to be able to send two vans full of food, goods, and supplies deep into Ukraine. So many there are huddled in their basements for protection and literally, starving to death. Not only do we bring them sustenance, but the Good News of our…
I can hardly believe that August is over. I love August! It speaks ‘summer’ to me! It was, however, a different few weeks. I had a (mild) UTI, four ocular migraines, a sinus infection, and bronchitis – all within the span of two weeks. I am absolutely praising God that I’m doing so much better,…
– I absolutely praise God that despite a difficult trip, He carried me back safely one more time to ‘the other land that I love’. (Thank You, Lord!!) As usual, Ovi and I had great conversation on the nearly 3-hour trip to Brasov from Otopeni. Much of what he had to tell me was difficult…
First of all, thank you for your continued loving and faithful support, both prayerfully and financially, of Love From Above. We make quite a team. We are still taking care of our precious orphans – supporting Ovi, monthly – shipping clothing and good – supporting Ukrainian refugees – and so much more. Thank you for…
SO much to praise our Almighty God for this past month! Thanks to you, the ministry has been able to continue to provide meds and food for our two orphanages that we look after (Albina and Barza Mica). Also, we have provided food for them – and love, love, love! Thanks to you, we continue…
– Love From Above has continued to provide our babies at Albina (orphanage) with their meds – has continued to provide our ‘kids’ at Barza Mica with meds and food. Please remember that serving the orphans was my first ‘calling/assignment’ in Romania. They will always be taken care of first. – We also shipped 400+…
