A country was experiencing the worst floods in years where villages were washed away and half the crops were ruined. One government worker said, "Let me tell you the happiness of the flood. Each flood replenishes the soil by the silt it leaves. Without the floods our farmland would be worn out in a generation."
"Happiness of the flood" recognizes that difficult times are necessary to survival and thriving. Floods come every year in some countries and the people receive them prepared for hardship and with thanksgiving for future crops. We've faced flooding and other difficulties while planting the church in Nuevo Progreso. But even with an unfinished building the work is still growing and thriving. Could we see in these events the "happiness of the flood?"
Job 2:10 (NLT) Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never anything bad?
We photographed two happy little girls who live near the church in Nuevo Progreso.
