Life-giving Choices

Choices.  We all have them.  We are grateful that we get to bring life-giving choices daily to those we serve. It means everything to the lives we reach.   Many of these lives don’t even realize they have choices.  It doesn’t matter how poor or rich we are – we all have choices. 


Everyday we choose fear or faith, despair or hope, unfairness or justice, blame or grace, and selfishness or service.  The people that surround us in Honduras teach us so much about these choices.  In a country riddled with fear, we go where others won't…because of faith.  In a country submerged in dark despair, we shine…because of hope. In a country where unfairness is blatant and widespread, we stand up for what’s right…because of justice.  In a country where blame destroys, we point to Him…because of grace.  In a country where selfishness thrives, we are shown and show generosity…because of service.  Actions speak louder than words in all circumstances, and how blessed we are to be people known for our actions. 

What a privilege it is to teach our beloveds about choices.  What a difference God is making in these lives because of this.
