_I decided that before I leave tomorrow I wanted to give our gifts to our employees instead of just leaving them to be opened at their big party December 17. So, we bought a cake and had a little party this afternoon. Cheryl and I bought each of the ladies a hand mixer; and each of the guys a nice shirt. We also got Nicholas something special. He's a great fan of Andrea Bocelli, so we got him one of his CD/DVD’s. The party started about an hour late because we were at the Landau factory receiving the nine industrial sewing machines that they have donated to us. What a blessing. In addition to the sewing machines we have also gained two enthusiastic supporters in their general manager, and their head accountant... I learned yesterday that those who have received the water filters in their homes are sharing clean water with their friends and neighbors. That's a great blessing too…. I will be leaving tomorrow morning; I should be in Tulsa by tomorrow night.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: It's ironic; we teach, preach, and write books about prayer; then we languish for lack of it.
