Clinic in Lemoa

We all met in Lemoa this morning for our clinic.  We had a good number of patients waiting when we arrived. 

We began our morning with our devotional before we went out to welcome the patients.  Gaspar spoke a few minutes about how we should be a living sacrifice as mentioned in Romans 12:1,2.

Any living creature senses fear at the thought of being killed. Dying and suffering is not something a psychologically-well person looks forward to.  Even Christ, before his death prayed to his father, hoping that there was another way to reconcile the relationship with man.................but as we know, the only sacrifice that would wash away our sins, was his blood.

So Gaspar mentioned a few ideas of how we today present ourselves as a living sacrifice.  We should think of others and their needs before ours.  We do things that are difficult, when it is the right thing to do. He mentioned people that do not participate in worship because it is raining too hard............and then other days they decide not to because it is too sunny. Decision making is a conscience effort.  Life as a Christian is not always the easiest road. We were never promised that it would be.

We finished with prayer and we have a lot of people within our team with sick family members. We also prayed for the people of Honduras and the struggles that they are having.

I met a young lady that has not been able to have another child.  The more we talked, I found out that she is having marital problems.  We talked for a long time and then I introduced her to Gaspar.  My hope is that she will invite him to speak to her and her husband.

Another great day and productive clinic!
