During devotional, Dr. Boutros asked us, “What do you want?” This question seems simple yet difficult at times. “To be happy”, one answers.
Happiness isn’t only the great things that happen to us, but the bad things that we learn from. In the Bible, it says, “For all things give thanks”. Why do I mention this? The need for GRATITUDE. How does this relate to this mission? We can serve others if we feel stressed about things we’re not able to do by sharing love and our talents and ourselves, to those in most need and giving thanks.
Today, we met Carla, La Chispa, a tumor surgery patient whose appointment was set for the next day. When she came out after meeting with Dr. Boutros, she was in a state of unbelief. For many years, she was denied surgery, had been given hope for surgery, only to find out that she was deceived and had spent what little money she had. Easily, she could have given up hope, but instead, she decided to find faith again and give it another shot, thanks to the help of her social worker.
