Today was our first clinic day... all 9 of us were there - John and Sophia and a lovely Haitian Doctor seeing patients, Jenn and Phyllis in the pharmacy, Sue and Mark and Jonathan swapping off with blood pressure and temperatures, and David spending extraordinary time with the children of the school and the orphanage....
There were amazing moments - 6 children giving me thank-you kisses at once for the lovely fleece blankets... one scarred young girl rescued from the street who sat in my lap and squeezed my arms tighter and tighter around her.... We were healing each other just a little bit...
People incredibly grateful for vitamins, pain medications, antacids...
Teaching a little massage to the trainees learning to work as OT aids for the center for handicapped children.
Praying for and with the people touching my day...
Filling with gratitude for each person on this team and the very special gifts they bring...
God is good...
