Firm Foundation

How firm a foundation ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His excellent word. What more can he say, than to you he hath said; To you, who for refuge to Jesus have fled? This was the hymn

on my heart as the day began

Bricks being laid in the ditch

There are 2 lady workers

Sheeba is looking on

By the afternoon the ditch all filled up

A load of sand


Mixing concrete

No powder puff girls these.
These women are from Bilaspur (Central India)
People from there move all over India as migrant labourers
Least you think in India we employ primitive methods of construction
Let me tell you that our country has the most modern means of building and builders and architects take on International projects.
But we are operating on a shoe string budget, cannot afford builders.
These are some of our modern buildings.



Jobs for the Day
1.House chores
2. Instructions to the men
3. Supervising the building
4.Bank
5. Purchasing cement and manure (for the garden)
6.Court - the judge did not come, so it was time and money wasted
7.Grocery shopping
8. Simran came for lessons in the evening
An old house helper came to spend the day with us.She had lunch and left with old clothes and some money.
I am tired
The high humidity is giving me a constant headache and in this season my body breaks out in sores which are very painful.

Tomorrow is another day.

As I close tonight, I think of our heavenly city and its wall and foundation

"The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. 19The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stones. "Rev 21;18,19
