Home is wherever we are!

As I lay in bed last night, unable to sleep, this is the thought that I kept coming back to when I was reflecting on our days here in Mbingo...our home is wherever we are!  I love it here as much as I love my home in Missouri. 

I had an amazing day yesterday, but do not have enough time to blog it now as we are waiting for our ride to show in about 10 min.  I just wanted to end my thoughts sitting here in Mbingo with the song we sang in Chapel this morning.  It was so appropiate to our journey, another way God has spoken that he is leading us!

Brighten the Corner Where You Are

Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do.
Do not wait to shed your lights afar;
 To the many duties ever near you now to be true,
Brighten the corner where you are.

Chorus:  Brighten the corner where you are! 
Shine for Jesus where you are!
Brighten the corner where you are!
Some one far from harbor you may guide across the bar,
Brighten the corner where you are!

Just above are clouded skies that you may help to clear,
Let not narroid self your way debar;
 Tho 'into one heart alone may fall your song of cheer,
Brighten the corner wher you are.

Chorus

Here for all your talent you may surely find a need,
Here reflect the bright and morning star,
Even from your humble hand the bread of life may feed,
 Brighten the corner where you are.

Chorus:  Brighten the corner where you are! 
Shine for Jesus where you are!
Brighten the corner where you are!
Some one far from harbor you may guide across the bar,
Brighten the corner where you are!


Ohh...Gotta run, vans here!  Love you all.  Till I bog in South Africa! -al

Lions and tigers and monkeys I hope you get to see along with many other of God's creatures. Enjoy this next week, because you have surely earned the time off. Keep blogging because we all enjoy it. Amy, you may have to continue your blog even after you get home because we have all gotten used to looking for it. Have a good time and be sure to kiss and hug the kiddos for us. Love, Mom and Dad
