It made for a very long journey, the bus had mechanical issues along the way, the seats were uncomfortable, and we were a weary group\u2026..but that didn\u2019t squelch our zeal and determination for what was before us. We were excited that we were on our way to make a difference in some precious people\u2019s lives. We were coming with our American-style of worship, praise and ministry to help those dear people.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-8T8kbq7q5WA\/VFYxKzTd3CI\/AAAAAAAAHcI\/t9ke356Vkrs\/s1600\/Day%2B2%2BPayton.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Day2Payton.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>And, it&#8217;s exactly the same today. The message is loud and clear that we are all people who love and need to be loved. Here we are &#8212; leaders in our personal lives, ministry and business, endeavoring to make a difference in our world. Back &#8220;when&#8221; my kids played with the little kids in Mexico &#8212; language was no barrier. I&#8217;ve watched Payton and Alexia hug the kids, play soccer with the kids, play tennis with the kids &#8212; again, language is no barrier. What is it we have in common? Love knows no bounds. These children have such love for us &#8212; even bringing us gifts of sacks they&#8217;ve drawn on for us, notes and cards and one little girl even presented the women with jewelry. Again, it&#8217;s not that we&#8217;re here to bless them &#8212; near as much as what we are being blessed by these beautiful people &#8212; who have so little in this earth&#8217;s goods &#8212; be BIG, BIG, BIG on what matters most.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Years ago, my husband was Vice-President of a Bible College and we were the \u201cchosen ones\u201d to lead a missions trip to Mexico which consisted of college students, us, and our two young children\u2026.in a school bus.
