A New Light
Today we got to spend a few hours with the Kami family from Bhutan/Nepal. We spent most of the time with the kids, as Sukmaya (grandma) and Bishnu (mom) were taken to get some paperwork filled out. I must say, for both Cathy and I, that this is an entirely new world for us. Being involved in a ministry like this shines a new light onto what things are important in the world, and what petty things we so easily allow ourselves to get consumed by on a regular basis.
Pictured to the right is Ruth, the eldest of the four Kami kids. She loves getting her picture taken and knows how to have fun outside. She looks after her siblings very well, and was a great help with taking care of the others. Ruth is already starting to say her ABC’s and can sing a little bit of English songs on cartoons. She likes to look through the bible and sings a LOT! You can actually here some praise words in their songs.
After watching the family for a few hours, we took off and started moving things into their apartment (which hopefully will be done by Friday). It is… a work in progress… but not bad with all things considered.
As I sit here and type, I think of how much time I've wasted worrying about petty things, stuff that really doesn't matter all that much. However, I am very glad that I am able to re-prioritize my life, as I’m still young, and have plenty of time to focus on the more important things.
I am currently taking new light to this verse: “The King will reply ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’” – Matthew 25:40
