How do you see?

If you are paying attention, a lot of times opportunities to help are put right in front of you.

Case in point...our optometry tech was on the road and saw someone rubbing his eyes with gusto on the sidwealk.  He inquired...and the person replied that he had been suffering with pain for days.  They chatted, and he recommended he come in to the clinic to get checked out, which he did.

Turns out...he had a piece of metal now firmly in his eye after those days, which...would indeed provide some discomfort.  

Thankfully for him, Luis was there, saw him, and took the time to show him some love.

We had a group here last week, doing medical outreach in different Churches, and in a school in one community.  We took some wheelchairs and walkers a couple of days.  This lady was so happy for her new wheelchair, she was crying.  

Thankfully for us, God put us in the right place at the right time for her, with what she needed.  It all worked out without us having a clue when we got that wheelchair where it was going to go months later. 

It is easy sometimes to get overwhelmed and distracted with what we don't do, can't do, don't have the resources to do.  Where to start, being in a rush, etc.

These two events just remind me that sometimes while we are planning, thinking, doing...we have to look around us and see where the Painter is already preparing the canvas.

"For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."  (Ephesians 2:10)
