We started this morning with our devotional and it was led by Manuel. He talked about us being the body of Christ and our relationship with each other. There were fourteen of us together and I was thinking of a quote that I read on Erik Tryggested's Facebook the other day.
Whether we're gathered under a mango tree in the daylight, in a basement room in secret or in a massive, air-conditioned auditorium, when we're with the church, "We know where we are!"
It is so true. When we are with people of like mind and faith, living with the same purpose and goals, life is much better. Life is NOT perfect but it is better.
We had some challenging situations today and we always pray that we deliver care in the best manner that we can, while showing the love of Christ.
One situation I had was a husband had been unfaithful to his wife of twenty years. She came to clinic with him and they sat together as he told me the problems that he is having. You could tell that she was struggling but they want to continue in their marriage. They do not attend church nor have a relationship with God. When we finished, I introduced them to Gaspar and he spent a long time talking and praying with them. Hopefully, some seeds were planted today and we will see something good and healthy come from this situation.
So we ended the day with a little diversion. As we started locking up, we realized the keys of the clinic had been accidentally locked in the filing cabinet. We spent a good hour breaking into the filing cabinet..........and it was pretty interesting!
Tomorrow is another day and another adventure!
