Love is louder than words…



Love is louder than words…




What a day I had!
 Sometimes things never work according to our plans but God’s timing and plans are perfect.

In the morning I was supposed to pick up 5 boys from the slum but the motorcycle stopped working and I had to get a mechanic to come and fix it. It all took more time than I had planned.
We were supposed to be at Dehradun public school Kandoli by 9 but I couldn’t make it on time. I went to get the boys from the slum by 9.30 and took two boys with me for the function at the school.
After I got the boys Subhas and Bengun (that’s what every body calls him,he is deaf and dumb) so it’s kind of hard to manage with him sometimes. This was first time I had got their parents permission to take them out with me for the whole day.
Begun has always been so close to my heart and I have always prayed that one day he will speak.

It was a special day for him in my point of view.
Before we left I was sure Bengun needed a bath and clean clothing, so it was time for me to teach him some personal hygiene. In my home, I brought him hot water for a bucket bath which he enjoyed along with clean clothes.
I am so thankful to Andy Crider and family for giving me some old  clothes to distribute in the slums. From one the large bags Bengun chose himself some nice clothes and was ready for the winter festival at  the school. He was looking so clean and bright.
Subhas was also happy to pick some clothes for himself and his younger brother.
(I have my cousin Nitin helping at the moment with the slum work and I am so blessed to have him here).
At school we all had fun as there were different stalls offering things to eat and others were fun games.
Begun got a face painting of a joker on his cheek,enjoyed eating burgers and chicken  for lunch, then enjoyed cake and ice cream! I could see the enjoyment on his face. I wish he could speak and say what he wanted. I was so happy to see how students helped me with showing him around and playing fun games with him.
Subhas was so helpful with Begun and trying to speak with gestures because its so hard to understand what he really wants. He was having fun too. The fate ended around 3 pm, that’s when we also came back home. Begun is so intelligent he remembered the way back home so well he showed directions when to turn and  would look at me. I like when he shows thumbs up for ‘every thing is fine’. Subhas picked up some more clothes for himself and for his siblings.
So after all, it’s all about sharing God’s love.

After dropping them at home, both the families were so happy. Begus was wailing like a hero around his house showing off…
Subhas’s uncle said some thing like this to me” bhiya(brother) can you please pray to your God for my family and specially for my wife, every time we come back from our village she is demon possessed and gets sick.
So this was the note I left on from the slums today.
Please pray that God opens doors for me to share gospel with people…
