The 3 men in our house snacking on pineapple cores--a favoriteHey everyone! Sometimes it seems there can be a fine line between wanting to sharing a story and sounding self-righteous. I certainly hope I didn't sound self-righteous in the last post like I was looking for a pat on the back or "way to go." I do think it's important to encourage one another by sharing how or when God moves us. Lisa commented on my blog that if we would all focus on helping one person for awhile instead of feeling overwhelmed with need that we see, what a difference we could each make in peoples' lives.
Emily had an idea to make "homeless bags" of like granola bars, fruit, and a few coins to keep in our strollers for when we are out and about. It will be fun to put those together.
It's another beautiful day in Antigua-- ~78 and sunny with a chance of rain this afternoon. That's the forecast for most months of the year!

leeanne, Loved the picture of boys withthe pineapple cores! I don't think you sounded anything but sincere and compassionate and spirit-led. It was very inspirational. Keep sharing. great idea about the homeless care bags. It's so fun to give and put a smile on someones face. enjoy today. lisa
I loved your last post. You and Pat have always been an inspiration to Jeremy and I to be servants. I love that Erick is "all boy" too. We also have a child that is all boy. Instead of bees, he likes to pull on his dog's ears, tail, whatever is available! Never a dull moment with a little boy, gotta love it.

Anyone who knows you for half a second knows that you do not have a self righteous bone in your body, but that you are made down to the "pineapple" core with a servant's heart. As you endure this time away from home...how appropriate and I'm sure satisfying to pour into the least of these. That's who you are at home or away.
Please know you are not forgotten here...we miss your smile and sweet spirit. Cannot wait until the 3 Whitworth's are standing around after church basking in the glow of being home and together!! What a day of rejoicing that will be.
