"Tro Piti Bagay"

We attended church service yesterday (Sunday) morning, and although the service was in Creole’, one did not have to be fluent in the foreign language to know that you were part of a larger body of believers all united “in one accord” worshipping Jesus together. :-)
Today, at Jubilee, one of the “poorest of the poor” neighborhoods in Gonaives, a few of us were helping with Pastor Emory’s feeding program, where approx 200 children are fed once a day. As soon as each child received his or her plate (rice and beans), they began eating (usually with both hands). Upon handing a plate to one child, some of the food spilled. A very young toddler that I had been holding for quite a while before the meal, reached over to pick up the spilled food. I was thoroughly expecting her to put the food in her own mouth, but lo and behold, she reached over and returned it to the plate from which it had fallen (she had not even received her own plate yet!) Such selflessness in the midst of near-starvation moved me beyond measure . . . . . . that God would use a toddler to teach me a lesson/show me my own selfishness.
HE is soooooo Good!

Happy Birthday, Konal!
