Small things I notice and appreciate as we head home after several weeks overseas:
Children receiving food at school:
Women learning skills:
Fresh water for children:
People, like all of us, who just need a little love:
- Hot water comes out of the bathroom faucet while I shave—oh so comforting.
- I have a clean carpet to exercise on—and easier on my bones than tile or wood flooring!
- I can shower without worrying that water will get into my mouth containing bacteria that my system is not used to (causing the most dire results).
- I don’t have to brush my teeth using bottled water to rinse mouth and toothbrush (same potential results as previous).
- I don’t have to lather up with mosquito repellent when I get out of the shower leaving a film and a nice odor on my skin throughout the day.
- I can sleep without a mosquito net draped over my face that often happens to have a mosquito trapped inside the net thus exposing me to the very varmint it is meant to protect me from.
- A discouraged, hopeless, impoverished person given a new beginning and a new perspective on life as she is gathered into a new church family
- A vulnerable child receiving an education and food
- A woman without means given opportunity to make a small living and support her family
- A disabled adult who was previously cast off learning a skill to support himself and finding dignity
