I wanted to post this earlier but misplaced my copy of it when traveling back to the U.S. It was written by one of our missionaries while in the Dominican Republic.
Sweet Dominica
By: Susan Herrmann, written while on the recent mission trip to the Dominican Republic
The early morning sweet music of prayer songs
The sweet fragrance drifting in the still air
The sweet faces of the children
The sweet innocence of our hearts as they begin to open
The sweet evening rain resting on the weary spirits
The sweet birds and chickens as they grace the lawns and trees
The sweetness of the spirit of a young nation that is slowly learning to crawl, walk and stretch its wings
The sweetness of the faces that greet us along the way and share so openly of their lives
The sweetness of this time to share and grow with our fellow missionaries
The sweet thoughts and prayers as we remember our loved ones at home
We thank you, Lord for this sweet time of labor, stillness, openness and love.
Your faithful journeyers
