Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Interesting...

...how my African treasures don't need much to make them happy!!!

With a backyard full of toys...

Caleb is playing drums with a bucket and pot and broken sticks, and using the post beside him for an extra sound!!

Hannah is entertaining herself with an onion stalk and a stick!!

And in case you think this is unusual, let me assure you this is very normal around our house.

One of the things I think our American born children miss is the imagination to make something out of barely anything and actually enjoy it!!

Remember that to over half the kids in the world, this is their only option of toys!!

Love it! Our kids, too, can find things ... and use their imaginations. It's a wonderful way to play.
