To Mercy from Grandpa
As always the days go by so quickly with so many things to do. I get tired with it all some times and I’m missing the grandchildren growing up!
But then I wonder, will little Mercy love her grandfather more or less for all the time he missed?
” And what of Fara, Grandfather. The poor thing. Will she be ok?”
“I did what I could, Sweetheart. Lotions for her burns, antibiotics for infection, and medicine for the pain.”
“Don’t forget to check on her!”
“Ok Mercy.”
“Grandfather? Will Christophe and his family have a house soon? I know they get wet each time it rains and it IS the rainy season.”
“Yes, sweetheart. The walls are almost finished and we hope to start on the roof soon. You know he works very hard to pay us back and his family has so little food.”
“He is such a good man with a precious family.”
“Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison?”
I’m pretty sure it was today!!
Yes, I think you will understand, my children, why I was gone so much and love me the more for it.
And for all who have made the sacrifice to help us reach out to those in need, friends, family, neighbors, and all the sons and daughters of the Father of Lights, and most specially my grandchildren, who have yet to know the cost,
I am most humbly grateful.
For King and Kingdom!
Grandfather Bill
