Saturday
The second
day of water truck, and we have a well formed team. This day was special, because I knew we would
be able to handle anything, just felt that way. The beautiful Haitian children
chased us and yelled “Hey you!” as we came to the stop. They were yelling in unison, and it was
beautiful. As we opened the door and jumped
off the truck, at least a dozen surrounded us and one beautiful young girl
grabbed me and planted a kiss on my cheek! Wow, just love today! All we wanted to do was deliver water and
more water. I felt driven to just give,
give, give, as did the rest of the team.
We seemed to never have enough love or water to share. As we left I thought how it would have been
for them if we had not come. What if no
water today, or any day?
For that
very reason, I’ll be back. A piece of my
heart is forever in Haiti.
As I watched
this awesome team this week, I kept thinking of one of the words of the day I had
used… gift. We each have gifts, special and
perfect, that God had given to us. Thank
You, Lord, for the blessings that we can share and bring to this beautiful
country, and these special people. It
has been joyful again to shine our light upon them, because today, we were
indeed there for them as the hands and feet of Jesus.
