Sunday Blessings - Kar Seva

My Mum was not well on Thursday and Friday.
On Friday morning the YWAM Team came to spend time in prayer in our church.We invited them to pray for us and they came right over. We had a beautiful time of worship and prayer in different languages - it was manna to our hungry souls.The young people had a special message for us too.
Before leaving they said they wanted to come on Saturday morning to clean the church. In India it is called Kar Seva - labour of love, voluntary service rendered at a religious place or in a needy situation.

On Saturday the team worked so hard cleaning the sanctuary. They started right from the roof.

These young people were such a tremendous blessing to us.

We just praise God for them.
They displayed faith and works.

This is what the body of Christ is for, serving one another.

My mother is better now and eating some more.

I need prayers as I have a painful sty infection in my left eye. Must have caught it in the hospital when I to see the Doctor about Mom.

I am on anti-biotics.

Tomorrow Sonia and her hubby and son are coming for a day.

Looking forward to that.
