To start off with, Dr Sam invited Uncle, Aunty and me over to pray for a family leaving to Bihar as Missionary doctors. We prayed for Dr.Stanley and Preena, a newly married couple who were leaving this afternoon to work in a hospital in Bihar.
Somethings that crossed my mind while meeting these people were...
a. Herez a young couple. A doctor with an MS, leaving Chennai to serve on missions. His wife a Phd in Physical Disabilities joins him with a heart to support his work at Bihar.
b. The parents of the couple. They say that they have nothing to give them except their prayers and blessing.
c. Lunch. Simple yet a great way to honor a couple leaving to Bihar on missions with prayers and fellowship and of course God's blessing.
After the meeting.
Dr Sam says he is going to Vellore and needs to be dropped at Koyambedu. I agree to give him a lift to the bus depot. On the way, he says he is going to bring 14 kids to Chennai to stay with him and aunty over the weekend. I agree to join him. We drive down to Vellore in the Ikon and reach Balanilayam, Vellore.
Balanilayam is a hostel which is home to 15 kids whose parents are missionaries in various parts of India. Wow!!
I get to meet the kids and Chandrshekar Uncle and Beulah aunty who take care of them.
Dr. Sam brings 9 of the kids in a Xylo, while 5 of them join me in the Ikon. We have a great drive to Chennai... trying to race each other on the road =)
We stopped for dinner. Itz so heart warming to see their smiles. Man... I havnt felt such happiness in a while. Thank you Lord!
The kids, after having their dinner at the restaurant, ran to the play area and had loads of fun. was nice to see their laughter and smiles.
We drove back and reached Dr.Samz house. Four of the young chaps were fast asleep in the car. Twas nice seeing them sleep. Wow!! One day these young men and women are going to change this world! I am so happy to have met them...
cant wait for 2mrw.... i am taking them to the park at 6am. =)
Lord, I just want to thank you for these small but beautiful moments you give my life. I am blessed to have met these kids today. Thanks for Dr. Sam and Sarah aunty and their heart for people. God bless these kids and their parents. Let these kids have bright futures ahead of them. Let them enjoy your favor all the days of their lives. In Jesus name, Amen.
Today was gr8 Lord!
