Help with Food
Note, Maria's blog from last week.
Today was a great day except for me starting to get a sore throat. When I walked in to church it said on the wall with big letters “Knowing Christ is knowing God”
What a good start, all smiling faces with eyes filled with happiness to see me. It felt so welcoming. When they sang the songs in Tagalog the words came back to me and I could sing along.
Julius the youth pastor sang with his beautiful voice “Who am I”. He has a voice that always touches my heart. Listening to the different testimony one was different and I think shows the difference between the countryside and city. A girl from the youth group was telling how they had been in Infanta were Star of Hope is running a school singing and meeting with the students. She wanted to take in an offering to be able to buy the children hamburgers next time they are going there. They had found out the children never had tasted hamburgers so they wanted to take them out for hamburgers.
In the afternoon I went out with my son Leon’s sponsor child Jay and some of his friends for some shopping and to eat. What a joy. It sure is much more rewarding to shop with him than my own children. I don’t have to make Jay try things on he does it with a smile and thankful eyes.
This was last week, in the evening on the 10th I got really sick and was then taken to the hospital on Monday since my throat had closed up and I was not able to breathe through my mouth and had not been drinking for 24 hours so I was dehydrated.
Today is a new day and tomorrow is the big day, re inauguration and foundation day.
I had to spend 5 days in the hospital with IV for fluids and antibiotics. I´m glad I’m out and on my feet again. Thank you all for your prayers!
