Haiti Lesson #28...Sometimes a Little Buzz Can Be a Good Thing

I searched and searched and could not find a scripture to go with this lesson. In Haiti....a buzz means you have electricity and if you are from a cold climate in the US....a buzz is a good thing!!

In Port de Paix, there is not a readily accessible power system like the ones we have in the US. Electricity comes from batteries or generators and most homes do not have power. Sonlight has a couple of very large generators that John and his team work on every day to keep healthy. The businesses and some homes in the neighborhood, including the Holiday Beach Hotel (love saying that!!)

These generators cause a constant buzzing or humming sound. The first couple of days I thought I would go crazy from listening to it but I quickly realized the gift that comes from that sound....AIR CONDITIONING!!! The first 2 days we were in Port de Paix, the weather was beautiful....warm and breezy. About the 3rd day, the breeze stopped and the air because very humid , heavy and still. Getting back to our rooms at 8PM and turning on the air conditioning was a little slice of heaven and all the buzzing all day was completely worth it!!

  1. Philippians 4:12-13 NIV

    I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
