Care and Generosity

Today as every day at the LifeLink School our students were having lunch. There I was supervising the third level class and I happened to see Maritza...she had put a little bit of rice in her shirt pocket so I ask her why she did that, but she said no word. A couple of minutes later I saw her under the table crying so I took her to the bathrooms to wash her face, clean her hands, and calm her down. I asked Maritza why she was crying? Then I saw that she still had the rice in her pocket so I asked again -Why did you put that rice in your pocket? Is that for someone? and immediately she starts crying again but this time she answered and said: "Es para mi mamita" ("It's for my mommy"). By that moment I was the one with no words to say and the only thing I could do is give her food to take home for her mother. Maritza wanted to share with her mom what could possibly be her only meal of the day...
Just today in our Christhian Education subject we had started studying the Generosity principle and there was this 5 year old girl giving me a practical example about it... What a blessing!!!
Today, I want to pray for Maritza's family and each one of our students' families that God will provide and take care of their needs. And I want to thank God for LifeLink International and for allowing us to be part of this wonderful work of love!

The love of Christ Jesus compels us!

Elisa and I are ever mindful of the love of God showered upon our lives. That is why we offer ourselves up to Him day in and day out. We know that He has called us to do great works in His name and under the leading of the Holy Spirit... and we just want to obey! The mercies of God calls each and every believer to humble himself and submit to the will of God and to the move of His Spirit. That's when the believer becomes a disciple and an ambassador of His love. Being a follower is just not enough commitment to know Him... Jesus, the Creator of all things and the Giver of life eternal. God has called His people to be worshipers, to live in gratitude and adoration! He has given us the biggest and most precious gift of all, His Son nailed on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins. It is at the feet of the risen King where we find mercy and peace, restoration, and purpose for our lives. Let us fall in love more and more with this wonderful Savior and lover of our souls! Jesus is Lord!!
