Currently we are in the mountains of Honduras. For our first ministry day we were able to have a bunch of kids come to the church we’re partnering with. It was such a fun day full of games, Bible studies, and every child received a gift. For most of these children this was the first time they’ve ever received a gift. It was such an honor to be able to help pass those out. It was so sweet seeing all of their smiles and excitement as they opened their gifts.
The thing that stuck out most to me about the day is that I witnessed a miracle and almost missed it. One of the guys on our Honduran team had cut themselves with a machete. The wound was deep and it was right across his wrist. When I went to go look at it, it had already stopped bleeding and one of the women was patching it up. The wound was so deep you could see a tendon and it was across his major artery.
At the time all I could think was wow, I don’t understand how he’s not bleeding still. A few minutes later I saw him walking around and joking with other people. It completely amazed me and suddenly it hit me, I had just witnessed a miracle. Where he cut his wrist he should have been bleeding for much longer and much harder than he was. I realized I just witnessed a miracle and almost missed it.
I was rushing around preparing for the kids to come and was so caught up in what’s next. It took me a whole other hour to realize that I just watched God perform a miracle in front of me. The Lord was so sweet in making me slow down and realize what I had just seen. In the midst of the mess, God preformed a miracle. Where there should have been panic, there was calm. I just witnessed a miracle and I almost missed it. But isn’t that so often the case? Every day there are a million little miracles around us but we just get so caught up in the busyness of it all that we miss those little miracles. We constantly see them all around us and we miss them.
My prayer is that I don’t miss the little miracles that God is constantly doing. That I never stop standing in awe of His power and greatness. That I don’t move so fast that I forget that even this life is a miracle and it’s all because of God.
Also here’s a picture of the amazing sunsets here
