For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed me. Matthew 25:35
Whenever I go up to Ngong Hills, I take extra food. There are always young children keeping watch over their family's sheep, goats, and cattle. They typically spend the whole day out with the animals and don't have anything to eat. The interaction with these three boys in the video is common. When we got back to Ngong town, we stopped at an ice cream shop. The old man was begging, so I bought him a fruit juice which he thoroughly enjoyed!

So happy to hear of this great visit with the family. I know you miss them, but what an opportunity and the experience will be cherished for a very long time. I will continue to pray for you and all those around you. Be well and safe. Joan K.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your memories and pictures. So glad Naomi and 3 of your grand-kids could join you in your world. How awesome!! God is so good!!! Nancy S.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Deb. Looks like you had a super time. I'm so glad it all worked out and that there were no mishaps. You could probably start your own tour company if you wanted, showing people the "real" Kenya! Ruth

ReplyDeleteHey Deb, thanks for the pictures of the trip. I can imagine that you still hear the voices of those that stayed with you. I imagine you miss them now but, also get some rest too. Jim D.
ReplyDelete"Father I come to You to thank You for the time that Deb could have with Aliyah, Tony and Mia and Naomi. I thank You for giving them a safe trip to Kenya and back to their homes in the states. Thank You for giving them a view of the other part of the world. I thank You that You are using Deb even more that she could ever imagine. I pray this all in Jesus name. Amen."
I'm sure it was a trip of a lifetime for all of them and much needed time with them for you.
