Grace at Graceland

These boys are too cool for their own good...or so they think. They are part of Graceland, a small Christian preschool that I am volunteering at. They are full of energy and joy! Every time I see them they are trying to teach me Afrikaans. Needless to say they are learning better than me. The children at Graceland live a simple life in a beautiful valley surrounded by vineyards and orchards. Some have quite sad stories, but they are continually full of laughter and smiles. It is an amazing expereince to work with these precious little ones.

Just this past week...

Last Wednesday, I traveled outside of the city to the beautiful wine country. I arrive at a small preschool tucked away in a peaceful valley. The children are precious and anxious to show me what they are doing for the day. I am struggling some with the language barrier. But nonetheless, they have my full attention. The stories of their home life threatens to bring me down but I am reminded about the amazing teaches who pray over the children and do their best to show the love of Christ. Thank you to these hard working ladies who give selflessly!

Hope







Many days it seems difficult to see all of the hurting and troubles lives. Even with the children that I see each 


week. Many of their stories about their lives are so sad and I wonder what will become of them. But I am encouraged by this 


scripture. It reminds me that the Lord dose have plans for their precious lives i may not see the results of the love that has 


been poured out upon them daily but the Lord does have great plans for their lives! Thank you Lord for the hope that You 


give us daily! 



1 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity. [b]
Jeremiah 29:11-14
