“In everything I show you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ” Acts 20:35
Never before have I had God speak more directly to me. In February of 2008, I was fortunate to join a Strong Tower Bible Church women’s team in Ghana. This was my second trip to Sweetwater House and I knew the blessings that would unfold for me. On my first trip I had a wonderful relationship with Hayford and Janet. They were so helpful in directing me to many places in Accra to purchase the new furnishings for Sweetwater House. My respect and admiration for their family was bountiful as I saw how they worked hard, loved their family and loved God.
Today’s Choices has not only helped the girls that live in the Sweetwater House, but they have extended their support to the staff in making sure that they can provide for their families. And provide they did – purchasing land and building a home for Hayford’s family, debt free. My task was easy – laying out a plan for furniture and appliances and in three days it was complete. They had everything that they needed for their 6 children. As an Interior Designer, I have never been more blessed as I saw this house become a home where God will watch over them. God’s words have never been clearer –“ it is more blessed to give than to receive.”
