Mexican Farm

Have you ever felt really blessed or either really spoiled and selfish after seeing the quantity of things that another has? Yesterday, Annie, her dad, Roger, and I went to Carmen's Grandma's house. She picked us up at 3 p.m. and drove about 30 min away from Leon. We stopped and visited with her Mom at her house for a little while. She fed us eggs with cactus, beans, and tortillas. They were delicious and probably also very healthy. After we ate, we went to the farm where their grandma and grandpa live. We played the dice game from the Pirates of the Carribean.They grow corn, watermelon, peanuts, squash, beans, cactus, and different plants. They also have ducks, chickens, donkeys, goats, pigeons, dogs, and cats. They live in a very small house; although, I did not see inside of it. I did get to see the first house that they lived in. It was a small one room house with a dirt floor. Even though they do not have very many things, they are very content. They were very welcome to us, and Carmen enjoyed showing us their crops and where she grew up. The grandma amazed me. She is around 73 years old and does not look a day older that 60. I believe that she works really hard on the farm and eats very well.
The blessings in all of this is getting to see how Jesus works in all of their lives, including all of ours. When we put Him first nothing else is important and everything becomes a wonderful experience. Daily God full fills us as no one else can. I praise God for new experiences like this one.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life - John 3:16
