“I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own. We are not able to plan our own course. So correct me, Lord, but please be gentle. Do not correct me in anger, for I would die.”

Jeremiah 10:23-24


But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves are green, and they never stop producing fruit.”

Jeremiah 17:7-8

Last day of school at the SOS KG!!

So on the last day of school we had a beach themed Christmas party. First the kids donned their bathers (swimsuits to you Americans!) and ran through the sprinklers...or as Joanen did below, just stuck their heads right in the water!!! An excellent way to combat the heat! =:) When not running in the sprinklers, the kids all laid down on their towels. Then they put up the jumping castles and the kids all took their turns jumping around! Finally we went into the courtyard and had lunch - here's a pic of mielies we had (corn on the cob for us Americans!) ...and handed out presents that were donated by an area insurance company. Here's a pic of some of the girls opening their presents. I just love this last picture of Thulani, isn't she beautiful!!
