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…
