“Si Bondye vle.” “If the Lord wills it…” James 4:15

We wonder if this is from the difficult life experiences they have. They seem to accept all things that come their way whether good or bad. We are learning a lot from our brothers and sisters. “Si Bondye vle.”

    Interesting. Something similar in English would be “God willing I will (blank)” My mom and others in my family would often speak in that way.
