Joy in serving, Part II
Joy, today
When writing yesterday’s post, I was in contact with Joy. She emailed me a funny story about Viviana.
She (Viviana) and I and another teen girl (don’t recall her name) often went on walks in the early evenings. One night they took me to a place with many large rocks and we climbed a particularly tall one. They convinced me that all the Americans would jump off the tall rock we were sitting on onto another lower rock. So, of course, I did it—I even have a picture of me mid-air that one of them took! But, on the landing I hurt my foot. For the next week Viviana rubbed my foot each night before bed. You know how dusty my feet would be by the end of a day playing with the kids. I will never forget that act of love she showed me!
Joy also shared how her month at El Sauzal affected her.
God used the month I was there to teach about his faithfulness and about the joy and fulfillment that he gives us in serving. That experience was a pivotal time in my faith and in my calling to ministry!
God bless,
joy (or Gozo, as the kids called me)
I love the joy and fulfillment God gives us in serving, just one of many blessings in helping the Orphanage!
