Taste and see.

20120120-183307.jpg

Three days before we left the US, we got two very interesting and surprising emails. The first was from a friend in Senegal, offering us space in a suitcase to send over stuff if we needed to. The second was from my sister-in-law, giving us a gift card to Babies R Us.

This was just days after my mother-in-law (and others) had prayed that we would find a way to send American formula and cereal for Alec since what we can get here is, well, let’s just say it’s not ideal.

If you’ll pardon the pun…“Taste and see that God is good.” — Psalm 34:8
