Dearest Family and Friends:

We pray this finds you well and basking in God’s peace and grace.

We are praising the Lord because it has rained for two afternoons straight at Kijabe and all around Kenya! Thank you for your prayers for this rain. I will never again in my whole life take the rain for granted.

Never again

Never again will I take for granted this miracle liquid called "rain" that falls from the heavens.

Never again will I take for granted green grass, blooming flowers, fruit-laden trees or bountiful gardens. Never again will I take for granted people whose needs for food are met and stomachs full and satisfied. Never again will I take for granted families who live in houses where peace, love, and joy abound. Never again will I take for granted all of these blessings that are ours because of the faithfulness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Never again, Lord, please.

We are sending you our love and thanksgiving for giving and standing with us in prayer for the people of Kenya. We do not take you for granted either!

Please keep in praying. We will keep in touch. We love you.

Because of His love and grace,

Jim and Kathy Long
