Contrasts

Kendon needed some new pictures of the construction progress on our new property, so I climbed up on the roof of the shop and took this picture below. The building in the back right is Casa Elizabeth, where our girls already live; back left is the employee apartment building where we will live soon; front is the boys' house, hopefully to be completed later this year.

As I took the picture, I thought I would also take the picture above, facing a different direction from the roof of the shop just to show the contrast of what life is like around us to what life is like here at the home. It's so great to be able to give the nicest buildings in the entire city to kids who have been told their whole lives that they are not worth much and don't deserve anything. Not that nice buildings equate with the kingdom of God, but this contrast is present in so many ways, as God's kingdom is so active in NLCH and so noticeably absent in so many things that happen outside our walls.
