Great Is Thy Faithfulness

At the start of devotions on Wednesday morning we sang "Great Is Thy Faithfulness":

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

And as I go to bed each night here in Zambia I can't help but be reminded how abundantly faithful God has been and all that we have to be thankful for:

• Thankful for being able to come to Zambia
• Thankful for safe travels
• Thankful for safe drinking water
• Thankful for no mosquitoes (and therefore nil-none risk of malaria)
• Thankful for our time with the children (they are so precious)
• Thankful for each & every opportunity to serve
• And most of all thankful for God's unconditional love & mercy

So thank you for your prayers and would you please continue to pray for "team africa" and all the staff serving here in Zambia as well as all the children (currently there are 27) but many more are waiting to come.

Love,
Linda
