spread happiness

 

"Whoever is happy will make others happy too." Anne Frank

Have you been spreading happiness and joy to others? What? You say you are trying to find your happiness and joy. Well let me give you some of mine. Here is a smile and good vibes coming your way!

That's all it takes, put a smile on your face, even when you don't feel like it. It will change you whole demeanor and did you know that when you smile when you talk, you even sound positive! Try it. 

Well team one came home yesterday from Honduras. I hope they had an uneventful trip home. I have not talked to anyone yet. And team 2 arrived to Honduras yesterday. Last week, the pictures of the construction team was awesome. They worked so hard and got so much done on the church in Tela. Congratulations guys! I have to admit, some of the pictures were a little scary seeing you all hanging around and sitting on the rafters on the roof. All I can say is that I was holding my breath! And it is good to know that no one fell off the rafters or ladders way up high on the roof!

This week, team 2 will be concentrating on medical clinics for well check ups and prenatal checks w/ultrasounds. It is amazing to see the team work on the OB pts and give them a look and picture of their little one before they are born. We take these things for granted here because they are readily available for us. Not so much available in other parts of the world. 

In addition to the medical clinics, construction work, the team also conducts children ministries and prayer walks around the neighborhoods. It is a lot to put into one week, but somehow it always seems to get done...every year. The team touches so many hearts and lives through it all. Please join me in praying for them this week for safety, health and for them to touch the people they are helping. 

I have to say it again, I miss going with the team. I am really praying hard and it seems like God is directing me back. I thought I was moving on from going to Honduras, but I have been so much that it has become part of my life. Missions will do that. Even if you go to different places, you just can't stop working for God and doing his mission work. 

So who knows, I may be returning to Honduras next year. And I feel that tug to get back into medical missions again. I don't want to lead it like I did before, but I would love to be part of the team, seeing people and providing that healing touch.

Whatever trial you are going through, take time to work through it then get back out there. I had to take a break because of some personal things going on with me a few times, but God always leads me back. He will find a way.

Mark 16:15 reads: "And he said to them, 'Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.'

John 20:21 states, "Jesus said to them again, 'Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.'

Blessings to all,
