Cool thing I learned the other day: We were in a church in a big town called Pinotepa Nacional doing a medical outreach with a group from Kansas. One of the guys wanted a Coke and I volunteered to go get it for him because I was in the mood to get out and walk a bit. It turns out that the store was actually in the church so I didn't have to walk anywhere! So I used the ten pesos that he'd given me to buy his Coke and gave it to him thinking that that was the end of my big adventure for the day. A few minutes later, the lady from the store came over to me and gave me the ten pesos back telling me that the pastor had paid for it so I got my money back! I gave it to the guy that originally got the Coke and again thought that that was the end. But then, a lady who has some serious health issues was eyeing some of the cookies from the store before she went into the bathroom. While she was in there, I quick dashed over to the guy with the Coke and asked if I could borrow that ten pesos. To which he replied that I could keep it! I went and bought the two types of cookies that they had and there was still some money left over so I let the lady keep it to go on and bless others. Then when I gave the cookies to the lady she smiled and shared with all of us! While I was thinking about this later on, I noticed how that first ten pesos given with love by the pastor blossomed into a huge circle of blessings within our group. In terms of the Lion King: The Great Circle of Love!
(Before all you Disney lovers get on me about that....I know that it is really The Great Circle of Life but I thought Love sounded better. =P)
