Praises to God for His Abundance on the First Day of Medical Clinic

Our devotions this morning reminded us to look for the abundance of God and fill our minds with praise.  So we offer the following praises to God for His abundance:

We praise God for His abundance in providing Pastor Moise and Ruth for a few hours this morning to help get the clinic started. 

We praise God for stretching our time so we could see all 115 people with only one medical provider.

We praise God for the many donated medications to treat the people who came to the clinic. 

We praise God for the help of Pastor Wilfred and others who helped translate, especially since we were unsure if we would have any translators at all.

We praise God for keeping the rain away all day so we could work on the roof uninterrupted. 

We praise God for steady, encouraging progress on the desks.

We praise God for our little Haitian helpers.

We praise God for the cool, breezy and beautiful weather today.

We praise God for all the ladies in sewing class who finished their quilts today (about half of the class) and for all the people who helped provide supplies to make the sewing class possible.

We praise God that Tom didn’t fall through the roof.

We praise God for playtime with the school kids during their recess as they examined our work and pulled us to take a break and play with them.

We praise God for the help of interpreters to conduct two education “classes” about basic hygiene, hand washing, water safety and proper toileting.  All 115 people who came to the clinic heard this information.

We praise God for ibuprofen.

We praise God for no major injuries or sickness.

We praise God for prayers from home.

(And finally, we would like to wish Diane Basinger a Happy Birthday from her brother, niece and many friends.)

Liane and one of her sewing students rejoice at the completion of her quilt.
