Summer 2015 Slum Village

Man, am I learning a lesson on CONTENTMENT. " Be CONTENT in what you have.  For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you.". - Hebrews 13: 5.     Wow God is always with us.  That, my friend, is good news.  No matter what you are going through. I was at the slum village paying Titah, a new mom.  She makes bracelets and earns 15 UDS a month for money for food.  I get to her family hut with her baby asleep in a hammock under the stick hut above the dirt.  Her other 4 children are smiling despite dirty clothes and no shoes.  Their outdoor tiny fire has a pot on it cooking water with what they can afford to put in for soup.  I am invited to sit under the hut in a hammock as Tita was in the middle of a "shower'.  Her "shower"  consists of being outside in the village where all can see and dumping a bucket of water over her head with a sarong on.  After doing this several times she pins up her hair and is ready to go, drying quick
