Fall has finally arrived!

Sunshine is streaming in my windows this morning and I can see drops of orange in the leaves on the tree. The air is crisp and cool with an endless blue sky for the backdrop to this busy Sunday. 

First, would you rejoice and praise the Lord with me that we are coming into the fall months, which are always the best months financially for Alegria. Praise Him for a new baby in the family of one of our artisans, and she and mom are doing well. It is their first! Praise Him that another baby is on the way there too.

With 2 artisans on maternity leave at the same time (which is going to happen when you are in the business of creating jobs for young women,) please pray for the others who will have a little more work and for the moms and dads and babies as they adjust to this new little family member.

Pray also for the unrest in Honduras. It is always a threat, but we've had days when transportation was shut down due to protesting in the streets. Things like this can make travel outside of home unsafe, so if we have any notice of it, we can work from home, but when it just springs up, we can't, and we won't jeopardize the safety of our artisans in these times.

There is nothing as humbling as knowing that you are joining with me to pray this morning. Thank you, thank you, thank you for laying these requests before the Lord and asking on behalf of our sisters in Honduras who are working hard to provide for their families.
