MESSAGE FROM PASTOR GARY

Matthew 18: 3 & 10

He called a little child and had him stand among them.

And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. "See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.

Our oldest son, his wife and two children recently moved back to Pennsylvania after living in California for 10 years. Renee’ and I are thrilled to have at least two of our Grandchildren nearby. Right now they are very near by, living with us until they buy a house. Four year old Ella and Two year old Jack have really brightened up our “Empty Nest” with their antics and we love it. I had forgotten how much energy little kids have and how much work they can be, but it is so much fun to watch them learn with a sense of wonder and excitement. Having been born and raised in the high desert of southern California, they were used to sand, rocks and cactus; they had never seen autumn leaves before. So I got out a rake and my leaf blower and we made piles of leaves, jumped in them, they blew them in the air with the leaf blower. They are a blessing, but they are also very blessed. They have more than enough food, clothing, medical care, toys and anything else they need. What Caring Hearts Ministries does in San Luis is provide a safe, healthy environment where children without families can live and learn and grow just like kids in the U.S. Bethel Orphanage, Oasis Boys’ Home and Good Samaritan Soup Kitchen have helped thousands of kids over the years. Your giving, going and praying has made that possible. Thank you for your generosity. Instead of “Looking down on these little ones”, you picked them up with caring hands and gave them a fighting chance. Your Heavenly Father sees this and is pleased.

God bless you,

Pastor Gary
