Sunday night two boys I know well got in a fight and one stabbed the other in the chest with a knife, puncturing his lung. He is recovering in the hospital. The one who did the stabbing went to church with me on Sunday, after church I took the kids to lunch and the boys were bragging how many times they had been to church this month and how they didn’t fall asleep like last week. The one boy even gave me a review of the sermon and how we will face challenges in life and how we must persevere and face the challenges and not give up. The next day I spoke to him and he said he wanted to run and get away but he decided to stay and face his problem. He wanted to go and visit the boy in the hospital to ask forgiveness, but the boy is still angry and doesn’t want to see him. So he asked if I would bring him a note, Im proud that he is taking these steps towards reconciliation, my prayer is that the wounded boy can forgive and there will be no more violence.
It was really great seeing all those boys in church on Sunday. I talked with a couple of them after service and was very impressed with the eye contact and smiles the graciously offered me. I am glad they are part of the church, Skip. You are doing a good work, keep it up.

Skip ver como Dios trabaja en la vida de estos chicos me bendice mucho y estoy convencida que el hara su obra y los mantendra mas despiertos cada domingo (jajaja) estare orando para que Dios siga tocando sus vidas y que ellos puedan entender cuanto valor tiene el poder perdonar.
Tambien oro por tu protección y para que Dios te de sabiduria en cada situación. Bendiciones. Lili
