Ted,
What a great reminder of what is important and how our perspective on an event is everything. Just think if each time it rained we thougth is was a blessing instead of complaining we were getting wet!
Thanks

Thank you Ted for sharing something so deep and beautiful. I too believe God speaks to us always in many ways as he did to you. Thank you for the reminder.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, through the power of the holy spirit.

Ted, thanks for sharing this story. Your experience brings back many fond memories of times when we forget about ourselves and focus on the needs of others. And I would have to say, the deepest times have been when it has rained. I just wish I would have seen this softer side of you when you made us run in either basketball or baseball practice.

Ted,
What a lovely story…brought tears to my eyes. You have blessed so many in your life with your gentle loving heart & your wisdom! I understand the prophetic meaning of the rain for this village. I get a real sense of the peace of your arrival. Like you said, we think we will make a difference but we always walk away learning and being blessed in such profound ways.
Always a friend,
Debra

Thanks Ted, for sharing another tale from your heart and soul. I have been a traveling man for much of my life and I have always heard that if it rains upon arrival or departure that it is “good luck”. perhaps this is where that idea came from…

warmly,
Peter
