Time to Give Back Once Again

Occasionally, someone enters your life for a time, and makes a
passing comment that just takes on a life of its own.
That happens a lot, if one really listens, but most of us just don't
have the time, or the 'want to'. It happened to me a few years ago,
when an online friend mentioned getting a two bedroom apartment
in a Third World country, and I teasingly said.... hey, we can visit you!
She made that off-hand comment that niggled...
"yes, but when YOU come, bring your dental instruments...there are
orphanages here that you can do some work at. "

Yeah, right... any idea what it would take to do any kind of work
like that? Well, when HE wants it done, it gets done. "All things are possible",
including meeting and working with the kids in the Dominican Republic.
It has been several years now since the first time I went and met a man
who has portable equipment to use, and the skill to fix the teeth that need
to be fixed, and extract those that cannot be, while I did sealants, fluoride
and with my miniscule knowledge of Spanish, teach the girls of two
orphanages to brush two times a day for two minutes.

I love it, and I am here again.

What is He calling YOU to do today? Does not have to be anything big....
sometimes, it is simply smiling at another human being.
But YOU may have talent that is needed right down the street from
where you live...what are you waiting for, an Invitation? Go, He said....Go.
What you do for the LEAST of these, you do for Me.... so... if you are waiting
for an invite...here it is...

'GO!'

-grin-

God Bless!
