We just returned from a fabulous Easter Break trip to Mexico. We spent three full days with 3 other families from our church just outside of Tijuana at the Grace Children's Home. GCH is home to thirty great kids ranging in age from 3 to 13. The folks at GCH were gracious enough to let us add our collective 12 kids to the mix for a few days, bringing the total to 40+ kiddos.
The men in our group helped hang drywall in GCH's new 3 story education center and worked on repairing several of the home's vehicles. The ladies helped with small cleaning, organizing and painting projects as well as helping the kids with crafts and homework. What a blessing it was for our family. One of the GCH staff members commented that our time with them seemed so peaceful. When I stopped to think about, it, I realized that peacful wasn't the first word that came to mind when I thought about a place with 40 plus kids and a full-time construction site, but we did in fact have a peaceful time together...truly from the Lord.
"Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" Phil. 1:2
