IMIS KA LA! (SMILE NOW!) “My heart is overwhelmed, my pity is stirred.” – Hosea 11:8 It was way past midnight and my sister, Manang Mita, and I were still on the phone ironing out the final details. We were both excited over our partnership that was finally going to bear fruit the following day. I’m not a morning person, so getting up before 5 a.m. to be on time for my 6 a.m. appointment was no mean feat. There I was at the Lifestyle Medicard Center, bright and early, to meet our first set of beneficiaries. Jonathan, a three-month-old infant, was the first to go, followed by two-year-old Princess, and finally, eight-year-old Jumar. The mothers in the waiting room were all excited and anxious at the same time. But they had nothing to fear, because their children were under the skillful hands of Benny, a top surgeon of the Makati Medical Center. The Lord used Benny that day to change the lives of three harelipped children forever. Like Benny, let us allow ourselves to be used by God as instruments in changing somebody else’s life. “Imis ka la!” ~ Mari Sison-Garcia, from Didache Reflection: It is a great privilege to be used as God’s instrument in changing another person’s life for good. Grab the opportunity when it comes. Lord, we thank You for allowing us to serve You through others. Our hearts are overwhelmed and our pity is stirred. St. Veronica Giuliani, pray for us.
