TO BE "MUCH HAPPY"
Richard Ashe
Volunteer, Illinois
"May He give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed." - Psalm 20:4
To Marion Medical Mission: Leaders, staff, volunteers, donors, all people whose thoughts, prayers, and hearts have been touched by this great mission. Wishing trucks loaded down with pipes having ample fuel on mostly smooth dry roads to travel on to the wells. Friendly waves from workers in the fields getting ready to plant their crops hoping for the distant rains to come. The whole village waving tree branches to celebrate the coming gift of life-saving water to drink. Singing and dancing, drumming on buckets brought to carry home clean protected water on top of their heads, the first time ever in their lives. Big smiles and “much happy” eyes.
Listening to prayers of thanksgiving and gratitude for their blessings in a language unknown but understood.
Soccer fields surrounded by lots of people, sounds of children playing, excitement. As they play, dust seems to illuminate the evening sky over the fields as the sunset quiets. Driving, returning to night quarters to get sustenance and rest, a good, tired feeling. Drinking a Fanta pineapple with the workers along the way after a long day, now friends. Workers whose Godly spirit and joy carry the mission plans forward daily in a most heavenly way.
Application Question: What desires and plans do you have this day?
Prayer: Thank You Lord, for filling our hearts with Your blessings in our work with Marion Medical Mission. Amen
