Happy Birthday Chandre, Maderyna & Elaine
17 May 2007

Chandre turns 10 today. Her sister, Maderyna turns 16 tomorrow, and Elaine turns 13 on Saturday.

I'm not sure how big an event like a birthday is in Arandis. While I was there, I do remember one of the children had a birthday. I don't think she was a "HPOM child", but a daughter of Julianna and Richard; one of the HPOM families. Anyway, I don't recall anything special being done. It's just something else to think about I guess. Here, as children, many of us had the opportunity to have birthday parties with friends; there would be cake, ice cream, balloons, games and gifts.

I wonder what the impression of a child from Arandis would be if, for once, they got to experience a birthday celebration - American style.

What Matters

As you let God's design be worked out in you, you will see its impact in others and for generations.

Sometimes it's not about your ability to do something, but your availability to do it that is more important.
